Never Fails

You know there is an Astronomical Event on this weekend ... 100% cloud cover over Melbourne on the prime days.

So .. anyone viewed the Eta Aquariid meteor shower? Since the planets are putting on a good display in the same view area as the meteor shower, around where Mars is located it might be worth the effort to get up early in the hope the rate is high as anticipated. But the media always hype these events up.

Hi Hans


Might depend on where you are. CFN Access is indicating very low cloud in Melbourne around 3am, but, more 75% closer to me (Lysterfield).
