Wooohoooo
Geez....
I'm champin' at the bit to get home and set up for an all-niter with the ToUcam.
I'm really fired up for a big night.
I'm going to make a huge amount of free space on the hard drive the moment I walk through the front door.
And then it's open up every weather forecasting resource at my disposal and disappear completely into the night.
Waaahhhaaaaahhhaahhhaaaahhhaaaa!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even I'm getting out there tonight!
It seems like ages since I last had the scope out... due to either clouds or commitments...
I'm looking forward to it... got the thermals on, and the freezer suit in the truck... just waiting till Lyn and Kiara get home for dinner then I'm off to Blue Hill! (I wish didn't have to drive to get away from the light!
)
BTW guys don't forget the ISS pass tonight about 18:30-18:35!

It will be clear tonight! Nothing will stop that. Stars were twinkling like mad before, but look to be settling down.. maybe tonight will be a good night for a change.

Hmmm .. all clouds here ATM
Hopefully it will clear for tomorrow night as we have a public viewing night !
The Wet season is having it's last gasp, I am certainly looking forward to the months of clear skies that are just ahead of us
