Another night the Scope stays put away!

Just heard the weather report for tonight in the Ballarat to Grampians region.

Thunderstorms, hail, and the possibility of the first snow!!!

Has anyone got clear skies???

Striker (Tony) · #2 21-06-2005, 07:38 PM

Yep...first night its been clear since last Friday.

Ken....did you want me to get some prices for a new computer and goto for your son while the skies are overcast....I'm happy too.

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #3 21-06-2005, 07:51 PM

Tony,

What a fantastic offer!!!!

My son will be so happy to know you are going to buy him a Computer and a GoTo scope.

Don't go overboard though, we don't want to spoil him. Just a Pentium 111, and a Celestron 8" or 10" Goto SCT.

You are terrific Tony, I'm sure everyone agrees with me.

Hear that everyone, Tony's buying Aaron an SCT and a pooter!!!

You all witnessed his offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! Thanks Phil.

That was scary!!!! I had a dream that I said Tony is terrific! Boy, what a nightmare.

Striker (Tony) · #6 21-06-2005, 08:15 PM

Tell them all about the rest of the dreams you have about me Ken...no wait a minute...DONT....this is family forum.

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #7 21-06-2005, 08:23 PM

Family Forum or not Tony, They need to see how cute you are in my dreams!!!

Striker (Tony) · #8 21-06-2005, 08:57 PM

Another cloudy night , as soon as everything was set up the clouds rolled in .....2 nights last month and only one so far for june

it is clear and cold at the moment, and windy. the seeing looks good until you see it through binoculars it is very turbulent.

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #11 23-06-2005, 09:19 PM

Forecast for most of Victoria is for a whole week of clear sky!!!! Who packed their scope away to cause this LOL

ving (David) · #12 24-06-2005, 12:39 PM

there have been a few sucker-holes but I havent gone out. I hate winter and I hate the cold. I'll go out once the moon goes for sure tho

think so ... isnt anyone else going to join?

ving (David) · #17 24-06-2005, 10:41 PM

ok second it is!

wanna make sure i get temple on the night cause i have friends over on the 4th to see the effects of the impact so I have to be able to find it

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #18 24-06-2005, 10:50 PM

I bet the Americans that are blowing up Temple on 4th July have timed it so they can see the impact in their night-time while it is our day-time.

We will probably only see the aftermath many hours later, if anything.

seeker372011 (Narayan) · #19 24-06-2005, 10:52 PM

tomorrow I will ring the president of Western Sydney Astronomy Grorup to make sure we have no problem with using Linden on the 2nd

isnt there any one one else in Sydney who can be persuaded to come along????

slice of heaven · #20 24-06-2005, 10:59 PM

I think deep impact takes effect around 4pm our time Ken. Ill have to check that.
It is there 4th of July celebration after all.
