Bugger. I guess that means 90% chance of clouds.

I hate to say this but last night was a perfect night up here.
Too tired to set up but the stars looked beautiful.
On another note, if the six plug powerboard doesn't show up maybe us regulars should look at all chipping in a little bit each to buy Anthony a new one.
It's the least we can do IMO.

Andrew, it was lovely and clear at Point Clare, too. I did a couple of hours of observing last night before exhaustion from a busy week got the better of me.
Not looking promising for tonight. I bought sausages (and onions) for tonight, but I suspect they'll have to go in the freezer and await better weather another time...heavy clouds and intermittent rain here at the moment.

I've just spoken with John Bambury. He's definitely not coming due to the weather. Shane and I have also decided against coming (rotten weather = rotten children). No snags tonight, sorry!
Hope to see you all next month (I'll bring some sausages then, and maybe the kids, although it really is getting very cold by June).

It would've been nice to get together anyway and have a BBQ and a social even if it's cloudy, not sure what you guys think though or if it's ok with Anthony.
I'm not very far but I know it's hard for the rest to make the trip just for a social.
Any ideas?
EDIT: we must have posted the same time Rod.

Clouds and very tired children (I forgot about a birthday party with a jumping castle this afternoon...everyone is exhausted) mean we will be giving it a miss tonight...I am sorry to say.
Hope we can make the next one...

Just come back from a trip to Woy Woy with the kids. A surprising amount of clear sky greeted us. I'm in two minds.....kids are keen.....but the satellite map looks iffy. What is your view on the likely weather tonight, Froggy?

Mostly blue sky here.

Hope not to be alone!

I'd like to come up Anthony, it looks like it's clearing to the west and if it's Ok with you I'll make my way over within an hour.
Mike and H probably will be on for tonight too.
