Oh man, it drove me spare

Better here in Canberra but although it is quite dark at Wallaroo and I get more clear nights my new site is a little windy..something that never plagued me in my mums backyard in New Lambton

20% clear huh?...as I said to you, we need to move to the Andes then it would be 20% cloudy (or less!) and 80% clear...ah sigh...just imagine

No, you're kidding me?

Mate, I'm not all that far from you and still trying to learn my EQ6/C9.25 setup..........having to wait weeks between suitable nights doesn't make it easy .

Here is another better known fact. We have one enterprising member Bloodhound31 who kills boredom by building things.

The other 11000 odd members kill boredom by complaining about the weather

Not this summer though, I think here it's been more like 20% of days with more than 1/8th cloud cover

So you have noticed a change in the climate Sab?

Yes. Between January and now, global warming has turned Melbourne into the United Arab Emirates.

[clive milne]

For those of us who have been around long enough, the change really began in 1976.... but there you go.

Hmmm, David, I hope it all comes together, if only we could be in control.
