Gday Rob
Thanks for posting the CFN link, it looks like a great resource.
I did have a chuckle though at the testimonial of the photographer who used it to ensure that clouds were aplenty.
This got me thinking that perhaps an IIS forum sticky could be created that tracks when astronomers purchase new whizz bang equipment? They would simply log their general location and equipment purchased, this would then indicate the cloudiness of that location.
For example, I am in Toongabbie and I purchase a tak scope, serious mount and a dome observatory. This would forecast 10/10ths of constant cloud cover for at least a month from that date over western Sydney.
Or;
I purchase a new eyepiece, that would earn maybe a few days of cloud.
I think you know what I am getting at here....
Cheers
Rob B
