Weather Gods here my plea

Oh weather gods here my plea. I want some clear skies with 8/10 seeing for at least a month. I have waited patiently for this for nearly 4 months since purchasing my 9.25. The last time you granted me great seeing at home was in May last year. That night I captured Jupiter in 8/10 seeing and got great detail in the GRS. A couple of weeks later I captured the double transit with white ovals be present as well. Thankyou for that small mercy.

Please please, let there be good seeing again soon. I want to do some imaging. Please also let me know if global warming is real or not.

Paul

"Please, please here Our plea, please don't let it rain on me." Sydney and surrounds hasn't been any better. The weather will probably get worse, I'm buying my 12" lightbridge in Feb. cheers, John.

Yes I have noted that the weather maps have shown favourable conditions for you lot in NZ. Gary will be most pleased with this turn of events.

of course it's real! even though the hockey stick graph was proven incorrect by physicists, global warming is still real.

Rumples you are lucky, you live in Adelaide and I live in Sydney. I know why Syd, has had so much rain lately, because I've been trying to get out and observe! The water authority should pay me to try and observe on every night. We would be at 100% in Warragamba by the end of Feb!
I think sometimes instead of using my name I should have called myself "Cloud Magnet!"
It's clear tonight in Sydney - that's only because I have a previous commitment! THAT FIGURES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G,day cobber,


In the west we usually have about 6 months of clear skies december to may and some more in winter. This summer has been a poor one, we have had a few cloudy nights
