Ilford weather forecasting
I've been going to Ilford for 20 years now and can say confidently that the Mudgee area forcast often doesn't apply to Ilford. Mudgee generally has more clear nights , Ilford being in what the experts call a `rain shadow' area . However the star party usually delivers at least one good night and last year from memory clear every night
I don't meant discourage anyone from going either. It's the biggest and best amateur astronomy gathering in the country. The socialising is great. I go to the SPSP to catch up with old friends and see whats hapenning in the ATM world, but usually don't take a telescope along. Its fun to look through lots of different scopes.
