Hi Glen
Owing to my advanced age I am prone to have to get up at midnight or 1 am
or thereabouts and I often see a nice clear sky but I don't have the go to
get out and take advantage of it. With the sunset at about 8pm these days
good viewing has to wait until at least 9pm and as you say the sky is usually poor for the reasons you give and also a moist NE wind is often still blowing.
Also very late at night the light pollution at my place is noticeably reduced.
The last few months here have been particularly bad for astro imaging.
Cheer Peter
