This is the wierdest jetstream ever

At least we have rain and the farmers are happy!

The shape is almost unbeliveable

Hey Davo, I hope someone's getting something (rain) out of it. Worst drought in SE QLD in decades. Water restrictions have tighted to the extent you're only allowed to water a plant if you fill a bucket and carry it there. Even having a hose connected to a tap will get you a stiff fine.

Hmmm... strange though that Jetstream is there is one constant, and that's Brisbane (at least of the major cities) is STILL pretty well smack bang in the middle of it... roll on summer I say

cheers,

Reminds me of one of the Scary movies lol

Yup the old jetstream has been annoying for some time now. If it
isn't that then it's clouds or Moon, which I guess the latter would
be ok if I were a luna freak. Last winter I remember having an
awesome 3 months of pretty average to fairly good skies, not this
year sad to say.

regards,CS looking forward to some

Look at that no jetstream over Asi and I. We got it made.

All we need is observatory above the cloud layer.

My avatar is probabley the best one of my observatory. The closer you get the more the imperfections stand out. As Mike Sidonio once said (still makes me laugh) it looks like something out of Mad Max!

I'll see if I can get some shots of my set up soon.
