Is tonight the night?
Weather is clear, a little wind, no jetstream. What will happen tonight I wonder. Will I get that great image of one of the Jovians?

I'm not that far west of Adelaide as the crow flies, but it's blowing a gale here anyway. Makes me feel a bit better about hitting the hay early.
Good luck everybody & I bid you all good night!

Night John,
Dave, might wait the wind out or get up early for Jupiter again. The waiting game is on.
