Here in my area of Brisbane, clouds, rain, and storms are what's predicted by BOM for the week. So seeing anything other than clouds, very long odds.
As for my best time for seeing Orion and the trap, well that was back in December last year. Which was while the the smoke from the November QLD fires was still clearing.
Unfortunately, that was also when the clouds started rolling in of a night.
That after waiting for 11 months for a decent chance of another look at Orion.
And with my moving home mid this year, with the way the new place is facing, I won't get a decent chance again till March 2021.
