How frustrating is this Eastern Australian weather

[Kevnool (Kev)]

Be prepared for more because its raining out west , its been raining all day.
But that dont bother me cause its the first quarter.
If it was the last quarter it would be a different story.
C,mon the green grass and green weeds it will change our martian landscape.
Cheers Kev.

I will have to take some of that heat. I have finished ,adjusted and attached the spectroscope to the telescope. Just waiting to attempt some star spectra, but this cloud. And it's predicted to get worse.

Well, if the forecast can be believed we are in for some stunning seeing Wednesday morning and evening with Thursday looking like it may be sensational.

Oops, but then Broken Hill in the remote far west of NSW is a long way from the East coast.

Gee thanks, now my skin is turning a lovely shade of green

[Hachi]

Not a single star in sight over here. Weather forecast: "Cloudy with light patchy rain"...

[Tandum (Robin)]

Just think how easy it will be to dig a footing for your pier

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Not such a bad idea Robin. Seriously.
Might make a start tomorrow.

I'm ready to go with mine as well. Got a steel pier off alex so have another piece of that 255mm pvc downpipe to give away. Steel is so much better, you can unbolt it and take it when you go

It's all cloud as far as I can see down my way.

Wouldn't mind some rain with it though, the tanks getting a bit low.

[Tandum (Robin)]

Ric, Got a server in the corner here that had 2meters of water over it a couple of weeks ago .. that filled it's tanks

[erick (Eric)]

Sigh..... three planned observing sessions abandoned in recent weeks.

[Ric]

It looks like more of the same for at least another week for me.

I'm not even bothering to plan anything except for a trip to the pub.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

For the next 3 days they're predicting showers, rain and thunderstorms.
Dam it.
I've run out of fresh data to process and I'm thinking of dragging out some old Jupiter .avi's from a few years ago to repro.
Anything to stop from going stir crazy.
