Yep May is washed out , maybe a night or two in the last week ??
Last month over both imaging sites ( Sydney and South Coast ) I managed 2 clear nights and 3 half nights. The 3 half nights the dew was so heavy around midnight that water was was dripping off my Dome and could have filled a bucket.
Us east coast huggers only get a handful of nights a month at best. Local cloud and sea fog usually ruin your night. I often look on the satellite map west of the divide and the majority of the time it’s pristine clear and I’ve got this annoying local cloud bank that’s seems to always hover and move slowly over my area.
Late July , August and September historically are our better months , cool nights , low humidity and dry westerly winds.
