Oh well Ron, you can always move to SA. Clear skies here and seeing is on the improve. That'll learn you all for not living in a back water like Adelaide.

Coool!! PC, PS3 or Xbox?? I am up to Monte Carlo in the first season of career and haven't had time to get on line much. I have my own simulator that I built myself with a G25 Logitech wheel.

Looks like west of the dividing range might get some clear skies tonight.

Anyone have an idea of a good location near Orange? Any big open fields I can set up near? Cheers

Shame it's a near full moon tonight, but I'll take what I can get!

Warren's photograph of the rain seems to sum up the weather of late, but
remarkably it is sunny today in Sydney with only patchy cloud with "sunny"
or "mostly sunny" predicted for the rest of the week, but winds averaging 30km/h
predicted on most days.

Well since Saturday had the first clear night at Orange since about 1935, I made my way out of Sydney and set up atop Mount Canobolas and started shooting (wide field stuff).

All I can say, is that the pretty-much-full-moon meant I got nothing from the excursion. And as soon as the moon was setting in the north west, the sky to the east was brightening up for sunrise.

Can't win!!!

Still.. I love the Bell's Line of Road, so was happy to drive along that in and out of Sydney

down to 3.0 hours/day and total of 62 hours for the first 21 days of the month!

Tropical Queensland or Shetland Islands?

Just took a quick look outside, and there a few patches in the sky with, wait for it, stars. OMG.

I'd venture out there with my telescope if it weren't for that great big round blob commonly known as the Moon. And to top it off it's full!

Damn you moon, damn you.
