Its not like the stars are going anywhere

yeah at this rate they'll all bloody supernova before the next flippin clear sky

Hey Sab if you can get to the Moon there plenty of clear skies there

I phoned Jetstar and they said that they don't offer services to the Moon from Tullamarine. I asked them why the hell not but they ofcourse blame fuel prices and "climate change" those cheap Ba$&^&^!!!

Righto the satellite cloud pic looks as promising as i could ever hope for.
Im going to load up the trailer and head down to the Briars tonight.

Anyone else coming?

[§AB]

No, because:

1. If it's not cloud, it'll be fog that'll ruin the evening. If its not fog, I'm sure there'll be a lifetime supply of dew.
2. I have an 8.30 start at uni tomorrow which means I have to get up at 5.30 becasue our public transport is so crap

[PhilW]

You're tempting me Geoff! I am planning H'cote on Sat though so I might have to be home tonight.

[Alchemy (Clive)]

Im home from the Briars and had no cloud, no fog and no dew.
Had a good night observing and chewing the fat with Dave and Greg
I was however being plagued with intermittant power problems constantly causing my argonavis to reset and loose its alignment, but I cant blame the weather for that

Hope you got some viewing in at home Sab.

You should have come Phil. The last forecast I heard for Saturday doesn't sound promising. Hope its a good one for you.

[Dave47tuc (David)]

Thanks Geoff for the use of what's a great scope the SDM.

No sign of Sab Thought of cloud kept him inside

Damn 5.30 wake up. By sunset it became clear that it was gonna be clear. So Not only I missed the only clear night in Melbourne in winter, but also missed hanging out with you blokes and that 15" SDM.

On a continuing negative note, tonight will OFCOROURSE be cloudy as per freaking usual, Melbourne style.

What's the bet it'll be cloudy tonight? I'll bet my life, all my possessions and life savings. Man I'm gonna be a rich man.
