A bit of sport

With the run of poor seeing/transparency (read cloud) of late I thought it might be fun to ask who's game enough to predict when the next patch of good seeing is going to arrive?

Now, I understand your prediction will most likely not be applicable to someone living hundreds of Ks away...

But just for fun, let's have those predictions anyway

Remember - just for fun. Let's not get too bogged down in qualifying our responses

So when's it gonna get gooooooood? Anytime in the next 7 days? Or is it just not there in the foreseeable near future?

Looking at the jetstream, maybe in 3 days time.

Most likely though, it will coincide with the weather turning foul again.

Yes it will be clear from here on...
I was thinking of asking a similar question when replying to Rob re our star party..
I think maybe the cold that seems to be with us may help and move the jet stream North... I have no idea but you encouraged unqualified comment..
Wishing may help.. I hope it helps.

Would you believe Matt that i have had the last 4 nights PERFECT!
I havent imaged though cos of the bloody moon! I wish it would rain during times of full moon and then it can clear and give me 14 days of relatively clear weather!

I did look at Saturn the other night with my C8 while i tested my right angle magnifier for my camera i bought, and it was rock steady, cassini division was easily visible.....i wanted to grab my LPI imager but it was quite a lot of dew forming and my laptop would have been drenched........
Today its quite blue and perfect again!

So unless this moon buggers off i'd say another 4 days, because it ALWAYS clears up on a tuesday night when im scheduled to go tenpinning!

Cheers!

Hey...as long as the Panthers beat the Dragons tonight

Now, where's Ken?

[Outbackmanyep]

if anyone's as smart as i am with regards to tipping they know 3 rules:

1. NEVER EVER tip the Dragons
2. Regardless of what the media says NEVER agree that the Dragons are title contenders
3. Only ever follow 2 teams, your favourite team and any team who plays the Dragons....

GO YOU MIGHTY PANTHERS!
My tip: Penrith 26 - Dragons 12

[matt]

26-12?

bewdy! I'll take that

Now, anyone else game to predict when the seeing's gonna lift its game?

It does look like we might get some help from that big (albeit wishy washy) high that's over the upper half of the continent.

Then again Mr Bean (aka S.Hampstead) is reffing tonight....and he HATES Penrith ....
