Ever wondered why this year the skies are even worse than the past years?
In the past, 2-3 days a month we get good skies but not anymore.
Looking at the number of hurricanes these days, I can't help but conclude that our atmosphere is wrecking havoc this year and the worse skies are a direct result of this... according to today's ST article, these hurricane cycle will continue for another 30 years!! oh no!!

As I had predicted, after a hard day of rain, the sky has opened up!
I can see the whole of Pegasus and Cassiopeia from my living room window
If I were 10 years younger and did not work till 10pm the past few days, would have lugged my ETX105 up to the ole multistorey car park to have a peek...
instead, I did the lazy thing...took my Bino and took a look at M31....fairly dim but still there..heh heh
Hope those not working tomorrow will not waste such a glorious clear night!
what are you waiting for? get your scopes out!!

Hi,
Actually, last saturday night was a great night in Tampines... too bad for those who miss the session.
Anyway, the nights before and after a raining day was always very clear! But I prefer the nights before the rain... the air is more dry, so don't have much dew problem.
Have a nice day.
Too bad, my setup is not as portable as I would like to be.. Also, I think most scope will have dew problem in a few hours time if used outdoor in current weather condition... especially after a whole day rain.what are you waiting for? get your scopes out!!
