Nah – not me; I’m not getting tricked for the 3rd night in a run! Afternoon - clear blue skies with the odd fluffy cloud on the horizon. Sunset and all is clear. Drag all the gear out. Have the evening meal. Step outside. 100% cloud cover.
Stuff this for a game of soldiers, I’m taking up marbles or knitting.
Cheers
Dennis

Dennis, i know exactly what you mean.
It looks nice, but clouds on the horizon not sure weather to setup or not. Oh the pain.

Observing places east of Melbourne
Hi all, I 'm new in here. Have receently moved to Melb & am wanting to know if there are any good dark sky spots close by. I'm east at Mulgrave. Looking outside just now & it's nice & clear. Would love to get the old girl out.
Cheers, Bryan

It's looking good here too Fahim but it's cracker night and next doors kids are letting them off all over the place. I'm not going to risk gunpowder burns on the corrector plate or worse from a waywood rocket.
There will be other nights.
Hope you have a great nights viewing down your way.

I will wait till about 10 when Jupiter is getting higher up. I have found a film can and might try my hand at a makeshift adapter.

Sky is clear here too, i'm so buggered from the weekend but am in Jupiter imaging withdrawals!
I don't think the seeing is likely to be good even with the lack of jetstream, that Low system is surely still going to influence things.

Hmm yes the stars are very twinkly at present, and a cloud bank is forming on the horizon. I wanted to get in a practice run on Jupiter for next weeks transits. I will wait and see what develops.
