Hi David.

Where do you get your satellite photos from? I tried going to the website in the photo however the site seems offline or inaccessible.

Thank you.

www.bom.gov.au will provide same satellite pics, and radar etc also.

well that may or may not be partly true, but not the detail available like this

Thanks David.

Yea I tried bom.gov.au however those are "processed" images and I am looking for almost raw ones

Thank you soo much once again

BTW do you have any website (apart from http://www.skippysky.com.au/Australia/ ) that might help me make a better judgement of the weather to come in the next few hours? Would be nice to know a few hours ahead of what the seeing would be like (though I know the Sky Gods are easily angered with the many purchased people make )

Thank you once again

The EQ8 was worth 4.7mm of rain overnight.

Only about 0.5% of water added to the tank though, you couldn't buy a few more large items could you.

I added to the weather - a VC200L and an R200SS.

QLD is doomed.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Lunt 60 Laurie. I have been thinking about picking one up whilst in the states, along with a solar filter for my FLT110. I have signed up for the solar workshop at Stellafane this year, so that should be interesting. Up until now, I haven't really done any solar work, thought it might be about time.

Cheers Peter

With my ankle problem, it will be several months before I can use it, unfortunately, Peter.

Sorry to hear that Laurie. Hope all is well again soon. I do know how you feel, only too bloody well. It sucks.

Cheers Peter
