I for one, am very happy that the dry areas are finally catching a bit of a break and getting the water we have all been praying for.
All the Plants around my observatory are greening up and thriving, the lawn is looking great and the ground for my new workshop in the back yard is so much easier to dig up and level off ready for the slab!!!
I dont mind having a bit of a break from late nights in the observatory and just relax in front of a mind numbing PC game or the television....or....wait for it.....actually spending some time with my wife!!!!
Sorry Doug, I reckon I might have extended it, my replacement TOA130 arrives next week...
Peter, I thought you got the astigmatism(!?) problem sorted out a month or so ago - are they just getting it back to you now!?
That's it I'm never buying a Tak with service like that!!
All the best
Doug
We get your weather, Doug, then pass it on to Melbourne, who then pass it on to NSW.
It's been ridiculous lately!!!!
But the good news is that It is suppose to come good on the 8th which is clearing just in time for Camp on the 9th - 13th.
The weather outlook for Camp is fine & sunny, so eveyone might get a share in the good weather coming
Don't feel too bad 2 weeks now of solid cloud and only a little rain here near the NSW/Vic border.
I am truely sorry I bought a new scope. It is only a guide scope but quite a nice little WO 66 at $399, just need the time to use it, or should I say the weather to use it.

Don't blame yourself Doug!
If anyone's to blame it's me n' my 40D
It's the cumulative effect of astro equipment sales due to a strong Aussie dollar!

yep its raining now. gauge full so more than 25mm overnight, had to go and dig out the channel in front of our area as dirt road washing away.
clear skies due later this week, the southern half of this magnificent country will no doubt give the deep sky section a good run.
I ran out of toilet paper so I printed off Melbourne's Sunday forecast....
Had the scope out last night at 2am. The dewshield filled with water, and the constant lightning destroyed my night vision. Transparency was terrible too. Packed it in at 2:01am. Weird trying to sleep with the funny noise on the roof ... rain.
Ever notice that a one sided thread trend suddenly has an opposing view thrown in, everyone shuts up?........
