rmcconachy · #2 07-09-2010, 06:15 PM

AAAARRRGHHH!!!!!!!

so freakin annoyed - It's clear here now, and will be all night....one FREAKING day too early....as I have Thursday offf. And I had LAST WEEK OFF! It is just pathetic. IT PICKED THE WRONG BLOODY CHEEWWSSSDAY TO BE CLEAR

AND it's a mere 24 bloody hours or 60,000sumfink seconds too early because Wed night would be betta electrical for me as I have Fursday offf!!!!

Got the scope out last night with no moon...must be first time in months...Wouldn't you know my finders were out of adjustment and focus off...by the time I got these sorted, too tired to photograph. Friday night may be promising?

JethroB76 (Jeff) · #11 08-09-2010, 06:36 PM

Was very good here last night, knew I had to take advantage because of the forecast. Even pointed the scope at Uranus

mill (Martin) · #12 08-09-2010, 06:47 PM

Yep did the Helix first and then just let it rip on NGC253 for the rest of the night

This morning it was still snapping shots of the morning sky

Huh what is a meridian flip

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #13 08-09-2010, 07:22 PM

Was great here last night.

I did a 'Live' astro broadcast from 9:00pm right through till 4:00am when I had to stop due to fog coming in. Only had a few small light fog patches during the whole night.
Was good to see a few of you drop in and say Hi

Seemed strange seeing the stars again

According the the forecast, Friday night looks promising for a continuation of this diahorrea orgy of a winter.

I am still spewing over last night, inconcievable.
1 day too early, exactly 1 week too late. Yucky mucky poo

Yeah, particularly it being my last day at uni for the week. If it occured 24 hours later (i.e. TODAY), or 168 hours earlier (i.e. LAST CHEWSDAY DURING A WEEK BREAK) I'd be outside this flipping moment . What a king hit in the kid factory.

pgc hunter · #17 10-09-2010, 07:32 AM

Some chance for tonight according to skippysky and 7timer.

kingkong01 (James) · #18 10-09-2010, 09:49 AM

pgc hunter · #19 10-09-2010, 02:42 PM

AdrianF (Adrian) · #20 10-09-2010, 03:37 PM

Rain over night delivered 38mm into my already soaked/muddy backyard and more to come.
