What?! Aren't we the astro centre already, with the SKA announcement on the horizon?

On the other hand, while I might be glad of the chance to use some new gear I bought over winter to its full potential I am soooo hoping it is not as hot as it was last year. I just might melt away to nothing...

Only 2-3 weeks ago neutral conditions were prevalent, however things appear to be changing and quickly.

The last 12 months have really been woeful as far as clear skies go, it seems a trend that will continue. Particularly where I live south of the great divide.

For queenslanders that means cyclones, more flooding, perhaps Perth might become the new astro centre, clear skies for months on end.

Seems like every year, it gets cloudier. Must be Al Gore's most recent fad hard at work


Clear skies for months on end is nothing unusual in Perffff, yet some of them sandgropers still find it necessary to have a cry the second a cloud appears. Well, I gots some news for youse, try living in Cloudbourne. Never will you sook about your 3200 hours of annual sunshine again.

Boohoo, I cant take 364 cloudless clear nights in a row anymore. I am so tired from starring at the stars I might have to head east to mudbourne for a rest .

Isn't that the truth! I've just bought a new scope. Usually September to October are warm and clear here. Not this year, I am not going to be able to use the new scope for a while. The Scope Curse is Real.

Might be in the goldi locks zone here in SA. Not too much rain, not too much drought. Just right....
