Sorry Perth IIS'ers

Thought I would set up the EQ6 after a mmmm..... well prob a 10 month hiatus.
Perth skies have been awesome over the last week at times.......
Got most of the set up done and then thought I would continue after my day shift today....after all, yesterday the forecast was clear for today......
So now the forecast is : http://www.weatherzone.com.au/wa/perth/midland
grrrrrr
So I wrapped it up literally.........

Don't feel bad Bart because I reckon I stuffed it all for the people down south here for the last six months by adding two new scopes and a guide camera along with a few other bits and pieces while on a major improvement binge and the weathers been crap ever since.

Reckon I've put the black chicken on it good and proper.

You can blame me too. After sitting on the ground for over twelve months I finally got my observatory built. The delays were due to council permission and for physical reasons. Since it went up weather has deteriorated and it is a full moon. I had to get it done before an operation I had yesterday, otherwise it would have been another twelve months, probably?.

Cheers Peter

Great looking observatory Peter!

This all would explain why when looking at the weather forecast for the first time in a week this morning, all I can see is chance of rain, storm and other variations of Armageddon for the next week!!! What is with the weather forecast all of a sudden?! This is meant to be spring...

It's those yanks with their monster storm, it has got to be adding to the global depression and that's not just the stock market.

Heheheeheh, tried that,

Ying argued East-West would be best,
Yang argued North-South out of his mouth......

Doing both would result in Chaos......

Actually come to think of it, I have a friend in Perth who just took delivery of his new SkyPod.

This is all adding up to a wet month ahead ...
