Nobody like's a smart arse

Well just so you all know it's a lovely clear night in Perth tonight and more expected tommorow



ps: I'm thinking of setting up a charter service for those star starved astronomers on the east coast

flights,astronomy gear hire and a few bottles of MR red thrown in for $2000 a head including 2 nights accommodation with meals included

Noticed, buggered my shoulder so I cant carry out the scope. Damn you Trevor

[AstralTraveller (David)]

Are you on water rationing over there? How's the garden looking?

[GeoffW1 (Geoff)]

Who wants to wait 3 hrs longer to see anything?

[TrevorW]

We may need to ship water in from the East

You may have to wait 3hrs longer but at least we are seeing something

[jenchris (Jennifer)]

Nah, it follows the inverse square law - it's all diminished by at least 1/2 by the time it gets to you.
Hey you don't know a guy called Harry Sambrooks and his wife Sarah do you? Good friend of mine lives over there.

[Benno18 (Ben)]

You guys in the east should be bottling up all that rain water and selling it to us in the west.

And the gardens have a rather brownish tinge to them.

PS:

clear in Perth again tonight, now how many nights is that

[Alchemy (Clive)]

Rub it in ..........

No clear nights here for ages, what we did have was hazy or sucker holes, didn't even open the obs once in the last cycle.

However I did mow the grass several times, the fruit trees are bending under the bounty of fruit this year, the water tanks are full, it's going to be a nice balmy 24 degrees today, ideal for working outside.
Water restrictions have eased, the dams are filling up, everywhere I look is a gentle luscious green,

How's the drought

[bartman (Bart)]

Yep Trevor I agree.... nothing like getting the scope out in ure shorts late arvo...set it up and away you go. I was expecting a good six hours but ended up doing 12...um not that I got any good shots but I was just trying out my new QHY-5 as a guider.
BTW in the second pic..is that a meteorite or an Irridium flare?
The third pic has a meteorite in it!!!! wicked!!!
And yes poor effort on M42......not processed though ....bad focus etc etc
Like I said just testing
IN CLEAR SKIES
no just and clear


sorry just jumping on the bandwagon

So you're saying that your garden is still alive... as for mine...
