Hi Imme,
Thanks for the observation report for your location. Its always better to hear it from a local experiencing the weather than average weather indicators.
One thing I never understood is how weather works and cloud forms and dissipates. Can make and break a observing session.

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!
