Dew rarely falls in that area prior to 9.30pm, which I presume is your bedtime, thus you haven't seen it in 20yrs. Thank you for your input, though.
Good answer


PS it could also be used at the Queensland Astrofest, which has about 250 people
over the 8 day period and it does also have lots of dew but it still is a great observing and imaging site.
