Even amateur astronomers can control the #weather. From the day you get your first #telescope, you can expect 2 weeks of cloudy nights. Invite some friends over for meteor-spotting or #moon watching, and you've just booked a rainstorm!

Source: I bought a nice new eyepiece.

Bonus: my 5yo wanted to get her telescope out. I said no, because it's overcast. Now she is mad at me, personally, for the weather.

@StargazingGoat I always feel the need to warn the astronomy community when I am pressing the button on acquiring new equipment...
@StargazingGoat Murphy's law of observing. Schedule a public star party, it will be cloudy.
@StargazingGoat The winter night sky is complete, when Orion and it’s retinue Blaze magnificently in our southern skies
