Exclamation Come On Up!!!!

Come to Sydney!!

No I'm kidding, really.

Isn't always the way when it comes to observing. It is either a glut or famine. Worst, why is it always when some good event is on I.e. The Jupiter Polar Crunch (JPC) (copyright pending!)

However, in Melbourne and the surrounds I would have thought water in the dams would have been the priority. Wouldn't it be nice if the cloud and rain could be concentrated over the dams and clear everywhere else.

Hope all you Melbourites soon have a change of fortune - perhaps when the weather warms up!

Not any time soon

The forecast looks like something regurgitated from a Pit Bull's bowels

I went out last night. Got a few hours clear around midnight and again at 5-6am - enough to test a couple of scopes and see some old favourites. Enough of a fix to tide me over for a while

By the sounds of that, it seems it wasnt a perfectly clear night in the world's cloudiest place after all. Only in Melbourne ofcourse
