Can't quite say I agree Bigjoe. Although the past week was a bit sketchy, Monday evening (28th) was some of the most consistent excellent seeing I've had from Syd all year, good from early evening to after 11pm. Good bits of late July, Aug and Sept have been great for me (south Sydney), and incomparably better than March to June!
And the good news is that the forecast for Friday and Saturday is really good seeing and clouds-wise (surprising to get them both!), hope they are good for you
