I'm not saying it's your fault, but I'm not saying it isn't.

6+ months of thick clouds above North Italy and this is the best case scenario, this is on me sorry everyone. Then around June Iāll buy a new scopeā¦
Last year when I bought a new mount I had like 3 straight months of clouds. Then when it wasnāt cloudy it was windy or I had to be up for work the next morning at 3AM. Pretty sure I bought the mount at the end of November and the first time I actually used it was in May.

We should coordinate our purchases so we donāt buy at the same timeāthe two of us together might shut down the sun! :-)
Holy macaroni.
Astronomy is a lot like Real Estateā¦.
Itās location, location, location!
I thought it was bad back when I bought my present mount. I snuck it out under the cover of darkness for the first week. Then one night I looked up and one teeny-tiny cloud was drifting by. I swear it stopped for about a minute like it was looking down at my new mount, then it continued drifting by.
The next day it clouded up like the little cloud told all the rest. And it stayed cloudy for 2 monthsā¦
You really have to be careful when you buy new things. And you just have to sit it out.
The weather will be what the weather will be. š©
Come on, do not show offā¦š¤£
I did not buy anything and I am also clouded out š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Well, š¶āš«ļø Thatās because I sent our rung-out rain clouds to youā¦.
Of course, anytime soon weāll get our Brush Fire fuel growing rainsā¦. š¤¬
