I can't even get a photo of me & my scope for Omaroos compendium.
It's bloody raining all the time.
I might just have to set it all up in the rain and get a pic with an umberella.
Jeezzzzzz
I am actually lost for 4 letter words here. I'm so over it I cant stand it. I actually avoid looking out the window because it's so disgusting and depressing outside.
I spend most of my days completely smashed, that provides adequete distraction from the slate-grey depression.

Seriously, that doesn't sound good mate. I'm all for the occassional smashing but not 'most of my days'.
Since I can't observe from home I only ever get two opportunities per month to observe. Weather being what it is I'm lucky if half of the weekends are clear. So I took up a second hobby which is not weather-dependant. In my case I took up bass guitar. I had fiddled with one when I was at school but hadn't touched one for 30 years until about 18 months ago. I'm in a bluegrass 'band' (I use the term loosely) and we have done a couple of gigs. So far I've never had to decide between the band and astronomy but you never know....

I was a bit hasty when I said "most" days, but getting smashed every now and then is mad fun.

I've got a couple of other hobbies aswell but they just get repetative after several thousand years of cloud.
Hey! Same scope as me - except mine is the goto version. I use it with a Baader Fringekiller and quite like it. Your backyard looks nicer than mine though.
next chance is friday night....with a wind of 50kmh forecast. Wonderful. It Could be for the best though, as seeing is always best when (a) it's windy; and (b) I'm drunk.

Looking promising for tonight, satellite shows all the Melbourne Cloud slowly clearing. Might give it another hour or two before I commit to the "grab n grunt" routine...
Scope is outside, and the obs list is being prepared
