Who am I kidding

I must be desperate. The withdrawals must be getting the better of me.

I've set up the scope etc for another early morning rise, despite the less-than-ideal jetstream conditions currently prevailing.

The Metcheck astronomy forecast for Canberra is saying things should be clear from a transparency point of view after midnight.

So....here I go

Is there a doctor in the house?

well best of luck. last night started out clear then we had all this high cloud appear.

mattweather · #3 02-05-2007, 08:17 PM

Actually this high cloud cover moved away already. We had awesome sunset this evening, sorry i missed the photo!

It looks about 50/50 at the moment Matt. Hope it comes good for you tomorrow morning.

Cheers

sorry I thought you said parc? That jet stream has some big answering to do

It was clear again, but I didn't bother. Maybe tonight.

matt · #8 03-05-2007, 08:00 AM

Got up. Plugged the ToUcam in. Pointed the scope at Jupiter. Could hardly make out any detail on the laptop screen.

Back to bed I went

iceman (Mike) · #9 03-05-2007, 08:01 AM

Glad to hear it (for my sake)

davidpretorius · #10 03-05-2007, 08:08 AM

if my scope went out, it would rust even more...............bloody global warming.............too much rain

i specifically asked it to rain during the day to clean the atmosphere and then still and perfect nights............is that too much to ask for????

matt · #11 03-05-2007, 08:10 AM

The really sad part is that I can read maps and am quite good (these days) at predicting when conditions should be favourable.

I've ignored all that the last 2 mornings in my desperation to get back to imaging

davidpretorius · #12 03-05-2007, 08:13 AM

yup in the quest for great images we will do some wierd assed stuff like that......

ving (David) · #13 03-05-2007, 10:01 AM

so the seeng is still bad. oh well, hope it gets better soon

matt · #14 03-05-2007, 10:30 AM

Sure is, Ving.

Hasn't been much chop for a few weeks here. Although I can't complain. Had a pretty nice run from late Feb/early March through to mid April.

The weather down here is pretty ordinary too, although the much needed is welcome, not that we have much of that either.
