Weather forecast for NSW coastal is gale force winds, rain and mountainous seas ....

Batten down the hatches . looks like we're in for a couple of wild and wooly stormy days.

So much for spring.

I bought some stuff, but was hoping that being in Brisbane it wouldn't have such far-reaching effects. So sorry.

See my comment under username and avatar? That stays there because it's an ongoing thing...

Sorry Brisbane. I'll have an ED80 hopefully delivered to my door tomorrow

Sorry....a filter. Cannot do that much harm, surely!

I bought another of those Wixey digital angle gauges.

My old one has gone walky's .... well .... I can't find it.

I didn't think the weather gods would notice such an inexpensive purchase.

With weather that bad it must be an APO or RC, may be a Losmandy titan

Ummmm... didn't buy anything expensive, but I did wash the car

Is the effet cumulative or singular? In other words does the amount or price of gear compound and extend the crappy weather or is it a one-shot thing? I believe the former.
I bought a 12" Dob and a solar filter and a new focuser for my refractor(tempting fate thrice) and a Wimberly head (neutral I think) Clouds / Rain for next 7 days anyway. Plus gale force winds. Oh, and hail, maybe with a side order of fog to go with it

!
Its a good thing I didn'y buy any eyepieces (yet)or we'd be waiting 'til March.
Clear skies?????

I cleaned my mirror, does that count? Seems to have done the trick here...

I did but it was some weeks ago surly the effects would have warn off by now.

QHY8 but that was a few weeks ago, couple of filters and a NVidia video card to see if I can sort my OpenGL problems.
