Rain in Albury.

I set our little tent up before sunset last night just to make sure there was nothing wrong with it before the Snake Valley trip. I woke up a couple of times during the night due to the sound of rain on the roof, what a great sound that makes. Oh well, one tent to dry out before the week end but the ground got a real good soaking. except for one 2.4 X 2.4 square

Should we let the farmers in on the ""New Scope Rule" gotta be better than cloud seeding.

Yep, I had the scope out last night for one last "dry run" before the trip ... had to go and pack up at 4am when the rain came...

Geez - I'll charge them 50% of whatever a cloud seeder charges (is that an occupation?) just to drive into a country town and set up my scope, ironclad guarantee it will rain before the first DSO light can hit my retina! Guaranteed!
