Hi Greg,
I bet you’re glad the Obs is now up and running.
Yes the skies in the Shoalhaven coastal region can be excellent ( like any dark location I suppose ) although in summer you do get salty air from those strong nor’easter’s hanging around a bit, plus some local cloud from the south at times.
The sky brightness around my Dome location is around 21.50 ( Bortle 3 ) , a little worse to the south where I can just make out the sky glow dome from Ulladulla.
It’s a shame about your FOV at your Obs but we make good use of clear skies , it just takes a bit longer to collect data
Enjoy your new site , you will be impressed during the Winter and into Spring , especially July to September, best nights down here ( a tad colder than Sydney too )
All the best
Martin
PS: Last weekend down at my Dome was great ( about a 7/10 ) Nice to see some clear skies again
