Cloud Free Night had tonight clear until morning , Weather Zone had tonight clear with only up to 14% cloud between 9 and 12

Cloud as far as the eye can see ( mostly coastal cloud coming in from the north east ) Checked Satellite and yep coastal cloud

Shut down , packed up , covers on , cuppa tea and picked up a book to read

Definitely not a cloud free night
Hi Martin and All

Had the same cloud problem down here as well, clear all day, set up after dinner and it clouded over despite the forecast. Being the patient type, watched TV for a while and checked the sky a few times and realised it was clearing after about 2 hours. Spent an enjoyable few hours observing and imaging the planets in reasonable seeing until they started getting lower in the west.
Living within walking distance of the beach does have its pros and cons
