We didn't get the thunderstorms predicted for here last night. There are none forecast for tonight and yet I can see them brewing outside now.

It's not fair. It is currently 24 degrees here but I can't go out and enjoy the warm air for viewing coz of the storm clouds!

Cheryl just called me in to see 'Sky News'. There showing the storm flood and damage from Brisbane all the way down to Sydney. That's one hellava storm!!!!

Yea, I finally made it out there too Ian! Being a touch earlier I also had a good peek at Venus. Unfortnately my little light polluted area prevented the viewing of much else. I look forward to getting back from my break, and back to the scope.


Cheers,

Graeme

Here's a couple of my shots, taken with 1 hand while driving on the freeway on the way home

Luckily it had mostly passed by the time I drove through it.
