BBC Stargazing Live in Australia (clouded out)

The Stargazing Live team went to the land of Oz this year for clear
skies and to catch Jupiter at a favourable time for evening Live TV but
true to form the British weather has followed them with its clouds.

Nice to see the inside of a different observatory on Stargazing Live for
a change. It is usually the inside of Jodrell Bank whilst someone talks
through what would have been seen if it wasn't cloudy...

It is actually getting a bit formulaic with "seasonWatch Live" now a
hardy perennial and "anythingWatch Live" closely following in its
track (although they were caught out by train geeks noticing a "live"
sighting of a train at the wrong time of year).

Pffft! You'd think subsidized by what, $3.5 billion a year in public money, the BBC could have tried for another day.

Check your facts. The programme ran over three nights. And note the "Live"
part of the title.

The Moon was "live" last night according to Stellarium.
It took me quarter of an hour to find it despite repeated attempts.
I blame the BBC.
