Apart from being cloudy a lot and the smog, the Sun would not set till very late in Summer ( 10-11 pm) and freezing cold in Winter.
I do fondly remember that looking at Saturn and Jupiter was amazing. I always had thought that I saw the horse head neb through this little scope....but now, with my 10" newt, I know I was only imagining it!
I also remember that on those late sunsets through the clouds and smog I could see sunspots without the use of filters....

I wonder how many Dutch- Aussies or Oz-Dutchies are members of IIS?
