Seeing Last Night in Sydney

Went out last night at around 9pm and the seeing in Sydney was tremendous.
The Sky under Bortle 8 was blackish not dark smokey grey and could see plenty of bright stars which were pin point and no scintillation.
Unfortunately cloud rolled in around 9.30pm and didn’t clear until the early hours
I ran PHD2 for 20mins just to test atmospheric stability and guiding was around 0.40 to 0.50 in the East up at only 35deg Alt on the EQ6-R ( payload 15kg ) , really tight and stable with short and few Ra corrections, Dec was rock solid and with minimal corrections
Tonight and tomorrow night are looking clear all night until morning
Hopefully similar seeing conditions
Did anyone else have a peek outside last night early on ??
