Thanks everyone. It's nice that Bruce likes to see my offerings; I was beginning to think that some people might be getting sick of them.
Taken over the year, this is a horrible location for astro; we get a
brief fairly clear period during the height of summer; at any other time you don't know what you're going to get from one day to the next.
Most of the rest of the year my gear is soaking wet within 30 mins of setting it up. I have a separate car battery to power my dew heaters.
It is particularly frustrating for me as I was used to around 300
clear nights per year up in the north west for many years.
