Thanks for that seeing site, hadn't seen it before. My last OT question, have you found it to be relatively accurate?

Fog is more of an issue now than it used to be - but that's also changed in the last 10 years. I've lived in and around Canberra all my life and when we were in an el-nino we had better clear weather (higher pressure). Over the last 10 to 12 years that's changed as the humidity has been higher. I wonder if that's a permanent future?
Light pollution will be interesting when Fairly is in full swing. The estate's western border is right up against my eastern, but I haven't noticed much change yet even though the street lights are all on now.
Sorry Mike - what does OT mean?
