I live 12S in Darwin. When a complete newbie about 3years ago, I posted here asking when M31 would be higher in the sky (it was October) and already about 38degrees alt! I now really appreciate what this latitude offers in terms of sky. Even during the wet season, we have a lot of clear nights....and the dry season is mostly cloudless. The downside is LP is catching up in the burbs. And the humidity makes transparency poor for at least half the year. I suspect humidity would be similar across the globe for similar latitudes. Unless you can go up a mountain, and there are no easily accessible areas of altitude elevation here. Oh and I have a theory that goes....the quality of sky for astronomy is inversely proportional to the number of astronomers you will find there. Alas few astrobudies in darwin, so no community.
