Guess what
I wanted to set up my new solar telescope today. I managed to get it mounted this morning and the clouds rolled in. They stayed all day. They started to clear just as the Sun became too low in the sky for the telescope to line on.
I won't be getting the LX200 telescope out tonight as I have other commitments but the sky is Clear!

When I purchased my new telescope I had to wait 2 months before I could use it. Who invented cloud anyway?
Saturday night was beautiful and clear here in Brissy.
Stayed clear the whole night! Boy, there was so much dew dripping off my stuff I could have given my self a bath right then and there before going to bed. And if I was thirsty, I just needed to tilt my head really..
I didn't come in until 3am and that's only because I feel it's wrong to go to sleep when the birds are singing the morning in.

Hi Suzy, got to love that dew. I remember the last time I experienced that dew problem my telescope equipment almost drowned. I really need to pick myself up a dew heater.

Thanks James,
According to our forecast Melbourne will be pretty much overcast until late afternoon....possibly beginning to clear from 3:30 or 4. By sunset you should have good conditions......

sydneystargazers.com weather forecast as at 3am
Yes it was clear at sunset which was quite surprising. But now it's fully cloudy with rain forecast. I don't think I'll risk leaving the observatory open all night.
