    Lucky break with Sol this morning, just managed an hour of h-a before the clouds came in, and I even managed to get a flat! Ran outta luck before I got to white light, I am destined to not try the ASI174 on a big spot at high res :-o No amazing proms but a few nice ones, the big AR was lively but not on fire, lovely fliament by it. Seeing looked reasonable but poor contrast with thin cloud/haze. Lucky to catch some Sol though given forecast, good luck all.

      Luke, we get 300+ days of sunshine a year and you can guess which week is the cloudy one. Honestly Friday is not looking very good at all. I may cry.

    Think we finally brought a house! Pre contract signed and deposit paid, looking good so far.

      Thanks Luke and Amra. We are at the point now if we pull out we lose our deposit and if the sellers do they pay us double so I'm certain it will happen now.

      Cheers Jules, not completed yet but at our 7th attempt I think it's looking alright. Good luck with your move too, they say it's stressful but I think I'm going to enjoy it. Best way to look at it.

      Just over one of the worst cases in history, everybody got it but mine was the only instance on man flu and therefor much more critical. 2 weeks of feeling like meh.

      Hope you get better everyone!

      Yep, the geckos and wasps are out even. Still a bit brisk though and I guess the pool wont be ready for months but it is lovely today. Just wish this haze would clear.

      25°C in the shade here, the skies are hazy though hence no solar action today but may grab some of that Moon later.

      Tapa and wind sounds like a great way to enjoy this day, do have fun. :)

    Seeing is shameful, I might give up for the night and settle in.

    Hope March is better than Feb weather wise. Just 3 solar sessions in Feb!

    If anyone has clear skies tonight and a little time, could they check out NGC 3190. I swear I saw a star in the line of sight, so it looked like the star was embedded within the galaxy. The strange thing is, I can't find any reference to the star?

      At the moment the weather is quite good here so hopefully it is the same for you and it will hold off for tonight.

      I can ask on Iceinspace the Aussie website as it should be dark there now, maybe someone can take a look? I'll only ask with your go ahead though. :)
