Ahh the stress has eased........i hope the clouds dissipate......last night out here we had 3 inchs of rain ,its the first time for a while but its still cloudy....oh well back to the bubble wrap....cheers Kev.

Not quite enough stress relief there

Actually, I've been feeling like I should apologise for bring this weather to us.

I bought my telescope last Saturday, went out and saw Jupiter Saturday night, and it's been raining ever since.

Was it me that jinxed all of us - if so, I am very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very sorry.

Hopefully the rain will pass soon, but as a motorbike rider (commuting mostly), and avid weather website watcher, I fear the rain is here to stay for a while longer yet.

Looks like my previous post might have done the trick

I have just got home and the clouds appear to be clearing and the sky is blue - didn't even put my wet-weather gear on for the ride home.

Keeping my fingers crossed now tho that it continues to clear for the weekend.

dont jinx yourself!

ok the bubble wrap bgets rid of clouds everyone so start poppin!!!

[Kevnool (Kev)]

24 hours later still can be heard popping away,+ now i,m playing with the real deal also....cheers kev.

There is not enough bubble wrap in all the world at the moment.

Had everything setup for the first test run of the 400D and just about to start with alignment and it has gone from perfectly clear to dense cloud in about 40 minutes.

Talk about sending my blood pressure through the roof now it looks like cloud and showers for another week.

LOLOL
I had to double check that this wasn't an old thread that was being revived again.
Thanks for reposting. I love this stuff.

it's been cloudy and raining ever since I got the gstar camera last week Its driving me nuts just as I think that theres a break in the weather the clouds creep over and its pours and blows a gale.
would be glad to send this mid north coast weather futher inland.

It's been cloudy here for the last 2 months

I'm surprised I haven't sweated blood yet, with all this horrid weather

Cloud came over late yesterday afternoon - rain started in the early hours of the morning. It's a nice gentle soaking rain and is the first we've had for quite a while. Out here, any rain is pretty good rain, as we can always use it, so we tend not to complain. It is frustrating though when you've got a 5 day old 12 " dob to play with.
I've had 4 nights decent viewing out of it (and 4 nights without tea) and this being the long weekend, I was hoping to do an all nighter. Chances look a bit slim at the moment though.

Jeez! We don't get rain for ages and then we get it on the first long weekend after I get my new scope.

In Melbourne, any rain and cloud WARRANT'S COMPLAINT, and RIGHTLY SO, considering our HOW CLOUDY our climate is
