Maybe - yes/no?
Good luck mate

For me up at Tinderry its Thursday night, thing is of course, different models say different things and that in itself drives me bloody spare... ...luckily its a lovely place to go, so although that aspect is wearing a bit thin as a consolation for not being able to do astro...theeere is always stuff to do around the property during the day...which Saturday should be nice and sunny for...great.

Of course, if I spent a not insignificant amount more and made it (reliably, ie. its about a 70km drive away if anything goes wrong) fully remote, via the internet and setup my all sky camera, I could of course take advantage of many of the shorter clear periods that do occur up there, even in this current La Nina affected pattern in the SE of Oz...maybe necessity is the mother of invention (or makes one a thrill seeker and prepared to actually pose the question to the wife ), or something like that...

Sigh....I fear I will just keep complaining about it, hoping that will make me feel better... until an El Nino occurs and every night is clear again...
