Another day, another thunderstorm
Well...you know what they say about Queensland
I was hoping to get some Venus imaging done tonight with the new UV filter with the DMK and C9.25...with a few 40D Jupiter/Mercury conjunction pics thrown in for the heck of it.
But...as with every afternoon of my Christmas break...the weather has conspired against me
It's 4.24pm local time. Perhaps it will clear by 6.30???
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
PS - Yes....I know....it's the 'wet' season, and tiz to be expected, etc etc etc

From the TV news tonight it looks like it is going to be scorching, 34º or similar. How do you cope with that??

It'll dammed hot and very dry on the other side of the mountains if he decides to follow the advise given.
If he heads up the coast it'll be dammed hot and very very very sticky.
Hope his car has a good airconditioner in it. He'll need it.

Have already set the scope up and am ready to go!!!!
Hopefully the wind will die down and the seeing will co-operate...but there's a front passing through which might shake things up a bit.
We'll see
