I have clear skies at the moment but CFN says it should be clouding over soon. Meteogram and SkippySky however say it should be about 2am. We'll see, just looking at the moon at the moment

As usual total cloud cover i Adelaide. Thinking of selling my scope it has become that bad, the only time we seem to have clear skies is during the week and as I get up at 4.45 every morning the late nights are not possible

Seeing wasn't crash hot here, couldn't even make out the Cassini Division earlier. The moon is moving around like it's underwater at the moment. Steadier than it was but still not great.

The seeing's been so bad. I can't remember the last clear night with no jet stream. The only nights I have my eyes on for Sydney are Tursday and Friday. Looks like it might be clear with half decent seeing, for a change...
