The graph tells the story 1 June 2023

Post by Averton »

First day of winter.
Our weather continues to be challenging for astronomy. Another 6 days of clouds and rain have gone by but contrary to the forecast, this morning was initially sunny. The SSM graph tells the story. All of the dips in the red reference line and the corresponding peaks of bad seeing in the yellow line are clouds which started off sparse and gradually increased to the point that it was game over which stopped our captures of 540nm images.
