There are worse places in Australia than Melbourne to use a telescope.
Where I live I get around 30-35 good nights per year, and another 25-30
that are just about usable. Where I used to live, on Tassie's west coast was
much worse than that; sometimes you would not get a glimpse of the sun
for more than a week, and/or non stop drizzle day after day.
Very different to where I lived last century where we got about 310-320
cloudless nights per year.
