But after 3 hours with only some 20 minutes seeing anything, I packed up and came home.

But absolutely clear outside now and forecasts say tonight will be clear - so I'm trying to clear the decks for a few hours tonight! I have to know whether this site is worth persisting with - it's much closer to home.
Your story sounds like a familiar tale, until astronomy came along, I never gave a second thought to the weather. It's amazing how things change
