I'm over this weather, I think I'll take a trip to sunny Melbourne.
Aside from 30mts on Thursday that the clouds allowed me, it's been three solid weeks of cloud and rain. Missing the opposition of Jupiter was the finally straw.

The kids (young adults) all in bed for a while now, the wife gone to bed as the champagne and pastizzi are all gone and I'm ready for some action. So it's on with a second pair of jeans and a warm jacket (shouldn't everything be coming of

) and get back to the stars while I've got the chance.

May I suggest you come and join us on the other side of the Nullabor! We've had virtually no rain last summer until May. Then winter arrived(which is supposed to be our wet season) and we've had only 40% or our avg rain and I have had a ball learning astro photography since joining IIS.

I think I've had only about a handful of cloudy nights from memory since July which is very unusual for South Western Australia.

Anyway, we might cop it late spring

just as we are supposed to start our dry season again now that I have gloated

.

just wish I had more time off to take advantage of these lovely nights and learn more but work calls

Cheers,
Darrin...

Snake Valley, I'm jealous. Whilst I have been enjoying the viewing at home with all these clear nights, the light pollution is a pain. Hope I can make it to the dark skies at the next SV camp.

Just got in after an all nighter, which was over in what seemed like 5 seconds...

Seeing was shocking, probably even worse than yesterday, transparency was pretty ordinary, and my silly billy neighbours had their personal sun blazing all night.......but finally some clear skies, and 2 in a row at that

Was plowing my way through a galaxy cluster in Dorado... when I started it was dark, then about halfway through the moon was nearly 10 degrees above the horizon! It felt like 15 minutes of obs to me, but turns out it was over an hour!

Interesting to hear about your primary dewing up Eric, so far mine never has, even when the rest of the scope is dripping sodding wet.

Work starts at 3pm so I could take advantage of this night

Yes, a bit annoying - I'll have to work out why. There were two dry patches - where the surface fans were blowing- but only for about 1-2 cm from the edge.

erick (Eric) · #31 03-10-2010, 05:28 AM

Thermometers said mirror 5.6 deg, ambient 5 deg and humidity off the scale at "Hi". I think the ambient actually rose and the mirror was colder than the air. Another outdoor thermometer had gone from 5 deg back to 7 deg.

Sunny. Out walking the dogs yesterday and ran into a metre long brown snake

- Warm, no rain, a gentle breeze

. Just perfect

Same today, by the looks of it
