I feel your pain... I've been trying to get some decent views early morning (3:30-4:00am) of Jupiter, Venus and the last of the new moon. My smallish binoculars are getting more of a workout than my scope. It's been fun trying to find things between the clouds though, definitely a challenge and will help in the long run. I have the added problem of high light pollution where I live so straight up is sometimes my only option. Which leads me to the Taurids, I understand they are peaking once again over the next 2 days. Having done a modest amount of meteor watching, it can vary from time to time. If I remember correctly, you can expect upwards of 10-15 an hour for the Taurids when peaking. Being this far south, and having the Sydney glow around you, may limit that to only 2 or 3 an hour, but they should be quite bright.
