Dark Nights list for Adelaide

Well it's been 46 days here in Adelaide since my last fix and I've almost forgotten how to do astrophotography. It's been clouds-rain-moon-clouds-clouds-rain-clouds. Geez!! Suddenly it looks like a clear patch tonight and guess what... the moons directly overhead. Arghhh! Looks like I'll have to do the moon with a webcam which is not so bad I guess. Might chuck a HA filter on it instead of the baader moon filter to see if there's any difference. Decided to work out the best dark nights in Adelaide from now to the end of next year with the moon set by about 6-7pm and rising after 5am and produced a text file with the date format yr/mth/day and estimated when I could possibly pull and all nighter to get data. I'm sure there is a list somewhere on the web specifically targeting dark nights for astrophotography but I couldn't easily find it so here's mine.
If you've got one for your site let's see it.
Cheers
Stephen
