It has been nearly a month, Ice has an extension he hasn't use, I have a ir/uv filter i can't test.
What bugga has spent enough $$ to take two states out for a month.
cmon own up.
ANNNNNDD, the jetstream is nonexistant.
The seeing is fantastic, i saw jupiter last week thru the eyepiece for 20 seconds.
Thats it!!!
If i find out that the 16" GSO dob has been released in victoria and the boys have been secretly purchasing, then I will take out a loan for a titan mount just to get you bugga back!!!
I am so desparate that the scope went out at 4pm.
It is out cooling (probably at -4 degrees now), but as asi would say, stuff it!
Right, positive thinking..
RACK OFF CLOUDS AND FOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope it wasnt me selling my observatory and buying a tocam, barlow, baader IR/UV filter and a laser collimator...... Oh be prepared to get clouded out in November too when I get my mount
Well DP this may tip you over the edge, its about as good as it gets here no cloud no wind and reasonably dark but I cant take advantage of it, to fatigued after working a 70hr week and another 8hrs tomorrow helping a mate refit a Liquorland store ill miss the eagles game and be surrounded by beer all day
Yea i know what your saying, first clear night here for ages, did a couple of wide fields.
Had the hair dryer pumping plus a small fan blowing some wind around as the frost settled at 10pm, but it was clear for once, and that's what matters.
