I knew it would happen!

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

It was predictable.

As soon as I decided, then ordered my 12" dobber, which should arrive Wednesday, the weather forecast said rain until Saturday here!!!!

Oh well, gives me a few days to polish it, drool over it, collimate it, drool some more, polish it again to get the drool off it, count my eyepieces, play with the focuser . . . . and SCREAMMMMM!!!!

[RAJAH235]

Hi Ken, Sorry to hear about the weather forecast. It always happens. It wouldn't matter if you only bought a new lock screw for the focuser, it would still turn foul! You never know, it might fine up.Keep everything crossed eh?

[ving (David)]

hahahaha!

well ya get that.

dont worry it'll clear eventually

[Striker (Tony)]

or maybe not....sorry to be negative....lol

Its possible the clouds may hang around for weeks and months.

You probably should have looked at the 10"..that would have reduced the rain period by atleast 45%......lol

[Starkler (Geoff)]

It'll give you some time to drink a few litres of milk and get some washers made up

[Dave47tuc (David)]

So it will be your fault Ken,

If this Saturday night is cloudy

Oh well I viewd last Sunday night and had the best night I've had for a while.

The seeing was great 8/10.

Saturn was super at 288x but I wanted more

Time for some new eyepieces

[Striker (Tony)]

Dave...yes time to sell of those crappy Naglers and get some thing decent.......let me know when you advertise your Nagler's please......lol

[Dave47tuc (David)]

No not selling,
But a 7 and 5 mm Nagler could end up in my case as well as a 6 mm Radian

But keep trying Tony I may crack one day

[Starkler (Geoff)]

I wonder if Dave would notice the 12nagt4 missing if I .... umm ...forgot to return it next time observing
