Congratulations Rod on your new scope. Weather wise - you only have yourself to blame... 20" - we may have weeks of rain because of you...
Is it possible to meet at Kulnura during a week or next weekend?

Joe

And what about the forecast for the next hours?
Cheers

Jonathan, you'll have to wait until next time. There is thick cloud and steady rain on the Central Coast (at least for the moment). It looks well set-in. Have a night in. At least West Wing is on.

You're not kidding, Deeno. I am setting the alarm for 3am in the hope of some clear skies. We are yet to experience first light. VERY frustrating, but to be honest I have been enjoying the view of the scope itself!!

That's the plan, if it is clear, RB. Unless you tell me that the skies are clearing up near you??!!

I stayed at home. The weather in Sydney was bad so I didn't move.
Look forward for the next time!

I wish I could say it cleared up but it hasn't, it's been raining here all night.
