SE-Qld get ready for more cloudy weather

It's on its way. My new G-11 is in transit as I type. So you know what that means. Nightshift can let go of the responsibility of this bad weather for purchasing his 12" Dob and he can now pass it on to me. But fortunately I can share it with Striker. With 2 G-11s arriving in SE-Qld within a week of each other you can probably expect cyclone Tracey type conditions for the next couple of months

I just checked the USP package tracking and ITS IN SYDNEY

Good to hear Paul.

Hurry up and sort your G11 out so you can help me with mine...lol

I apologise to all who live in Brisbane and the south/east...lol

Thanks Paul

for relinquishing me of my responsability for the weather, I noticed the cloud finally cleared after my purchase only to expose what appears to be a mag 18 full moon, dang I need sunglasses for this months moon

. Of course the cloud will roll back in around last quarter, especially now that your mount is arriving. I am taping the windows and throwing ropes over the garage roof as I speak. We are the drought busters and proud of it. The cyclone will be known as "Cyclone DenPaul" and the name Tracy will pale in to insignificance.

We might have to call it DenPaulTony. Seeing as he's getting one as well. Mind you now that I think of it we've hardly had a clear night since Tony got his 20Da

ummm... this could be a category 5 Cyclone as I'll be picking up a new LXD75 goto mount (with 2in tripod legs) next week, and in all likelihood taking delivery of a new OTA too...

perhaps we could get paid to move to even more drought affected areas and buy more new kit

My g11 with Gemini turned up today...it's bigger then I thought...comparing it to the picture beside the Titan the G11 looked tiny...but its not....looks like a quality mount on a visual inspection

Only problem.....it come without the extension Balance bar....lol

Hurry Paul....I will be ready for you in less then a week.....lol
