I'll start.
I have a nice shiny pair of 15 * 70 Binos, so i'd put that at about two weeks worth of rain.
Mac.
Ps dont forget, the weather runs in series not parallel. :lol:
If you need the calculation, its Magnification * Aperture / 150. the answer is in days, so mine is 15 * 70 * 2 (2 because its a pair) / 150 = 14 days.
I still blame Mick. It hasn't stopped raining since he moved in.
There must be something VERY special about that house. What hasn't he told us?
He may have moved in a while ago but has he stopped pimping it ?
I have sold and bought a few things recently but there is no net gain so I see that as weather neutral :)
Nothing my end, unless Larry additions count?

Yes, Larry additions could count. Do they include an observatory dome?
Not quite ;)

It's not my fault, it's not my fault :cry:
I blame the women, sitting there trying to look innocent :-?
Fay with her "It's not for astrophotography" new camera
Kylie with her full set of kit - aided and abetted by Carole
Delphine, Miriam and Sue must be guilty of something, they look guilty ;)

I'm not pimping it, I'm trying to make it watertight so it floats :P

But you
have built an observatory (is it operational yet?) and that
certainly counts.
I'm afraid I have bought myself a 2nd hand OSC a couple of weeks ago. Not had a chance to try it out yet duh!!!
Carole
SEE - It's the women :-?
QuoteNot had a chance to try it out yet duh!!!
:roll:
Not guilty yet - but I am planning to buy a new telescope.
Delphine
Nothing new my end.
In fact, due to being stupidly busy with work and not having a chance to get the telescope out in months now can that be counted as minus rainy days? :-?
Quotenot having a chance to get the telescope out in months now can that be counted as minus rainy days?
Not a chance.
By the latest forecast the night of the first s going to be clear. So when do we go to work... Yep the 2nd :wall: :boom:
Thanks Paul, that's really cheered me up :!

That was done months ago and we have had loads of clear nights since then. I don't think fitting as snorkel and wading kit to the car would have any effect on the rain, would it.....
QuoteI don't think fitting a snorkel and wading kit to the car would have any effect on the rain, would it.....
Of course it would, they are only fitted so that you can enjoy driving through flooded rivers, ect,
so the effect of fitting one means that we are going to have a drought, and the rivers will be reduced to dust..... ;)
Mac.
Come July we will get a few days of nice weather and they'll be talking about hose pipe bans, water shortages and how it's been the driest year ever!
Anyone noticed how it's not "global warming" any more, I think they got embarrassed when it wasn't actually getting warmer so changed it to "climate change"!
Good I can then replace my garage roof.
