I hate clouds!

[glenc (Glen)]

If you want clear skies in Eastern Oz in Jan try:
Mildura
Tibooburra
Wagga Wagga
Condobolin
Albury
Bourke (maybe not this year)

The trees outside the office window are bright green, rather than grey. Is that supposed to be significant?

Our wet season is here if it is anything like it used to be we are in for a couple of months of solid cloud so I am living through all you pictures and reports as I can't see anything outside except grey sky and water everywhere

I'm hoping for a miracle, planned a scope night out with my friends for tonight and its not looking pretty at the moment.

Same here - the first possible night out since early December.

The leaves are grey again. They've been toggling colours every few minutes.

I might go ahead actually Andrew cause it seems to be clearing out south east from where I am. Keeping fingers crossed as this will be my first attempt at alignment.

I'd been up since 3am after work paged me. When I got away I was too d*** tired to want to load the car and drive out to Glenhaven, even though there was about 60% clear sky at 7pm.

Just got back to the fiery (or is it icy) depths of melbourne after spending 4 days/nights in Renmark, SA, with NOT A SINGLE CLOUD SPOTTED FOR THE ENTIRE TIME.

And not to mention the WARMTH! Don't see that in Melbourne in summer...

[that_guy (Tony)]

got 10 minutes of observing Jupiter til the Clouds rolled in

[pgc hunter]

Was clear skies all day here, compiled an observing list, dragged the scope to the door, and what do I see? BLOODY HIGH CLOUD EVERYWHERE

Unbeleivable, this is beyond all rational belief

Satpic suggest it will clear, but who knows what will form behind it

[Parkwood]

Yep. Noticed the high cloud on the western horizon and knew what was coming.

Melbourne. Cloudy one night then cloudy the next!

[supernova1965 (Warren)]

I hate Wind all the cloud is gone and now I have 30klm/h winds

[pgc hunter]

western horizon appears to be clearing up nicely.

[mithrandir (Andrew)]

We actually had a clear sky yesterday, until around 1am. I even managed to get some images of M42 and NGC104 (still not much chop) without trailed stars!

Clouds are back tonight.

[pgc hunter]

the clouds cleared just as twilight ended, so ended up bringing home a nice haul of galaxies, and in nice balmy weather aswell

Shame about the damn mosquitos.

[that_guy (Tony)]

mosquitoes are just disease carrying blood sucking THINGS that aren't good for anything

[pgc hunter]

damn right, mosquitos were invented by the devil.

[that_guy (Tony)]

who says they aren't the devil!?
