Following on from Houghys thread...allow me to rant
I was all excited again last nightt (9 June), all looked good on the reports all day, even organised an RDO for today to recover

...but no sooner had I spent an hour setting up and started taking my first focus images when the clouds came in

. I waited, cussed and ranted and screamed...but they remained. The cloud looked a little ominous coming south from Charlestown way so I sadly and scaredly made the decission to pack up...no sooner had I packed everything up when the clouds completely disipated and the sky was crystal clear

......not prepaired to be dissapointed
again after another hours setup, I went home anyway
Fairdinkum...after narrowly missing rain after a predicted perfect sky last week and now this...I give up on Newie skies, without an observatory it is just too unpredictable and risky with a complex kit...I'm going back to Kurrir Kurri asap, this never happened out there
I hate Newcastle skies
...aaahhh that feels better thanks
