[November, 14 2009] More Hot WeatherSummer has arrive with a vengeance - again - and it is hot. With temperatures well over 30° almost daily (and minimums in the high 20's/low 30's) BUT it appears with this years hot weather has come some consistency in clear nights. Winter saw a huge number of whole weeks and months of cloudy conditions. Fingers crossed the clear weather will continue. [January, 30 2009] More Hot WeatherSummer has arrive with a vengeance and it is hot. With temperatures well over 40°c (around 110°f) almost daily (and minimums in the high 20's/low 30's) it's been hard to get good images due to poor camera cooling and lots of CCD noise. This is an all time record for number of days at this temperature here in Canberra - and we don't have the worst of it...... [December, 05 2008] More Bad WeatherMore bad weather keeping the observatory closed. If it's not cloud then it's wind. Ah well, things can only get better and chances are I'll get a long string of clear nights (probably over a full moon period) [August, 24 2008] A break in the Bad WeatherA break in the weather and a mostly clear night. That makes 4 such nights in 3 months...... I haven't had this type of 'bad' weather before but at least it's raining with it. [July, 05 2008] Bad WeatherBeen a long string of poor weather. Strong westerly winds or cloud have kept the observatory closed.
