Can I ask do you get many clear nights on average near Kyneton?
Love to get something - just got to convince the wife the PRICE is definitely worth it 
Thanks for sharing,

Hard to quantify how many clear nights really as I don't record them all.
Living on the side of a hill (it's 800m'ish at the top and my obs is at 600m) it seems I often get pretty unique weather patterns......more often than not I have some clear skies above me but if I look out to the horizon I can see cloud coming that ends up going around me. Guess it has something to do with prevailing wind from the west (where my weather comes from) hitting the side of the hill causing a higher pressure area which in turn means any approaching cloud is pushed sideways/around where I am.
This week I have imaged once (Tues night) but there have been 2 x other nights which would have been OK to I think......and we've had some crappy weather this week!
