Its all good if we have mostly clear skies! but we cant cover the entire southern sky (minus crowded Milky Way areas) each month if we get a lot of cloudy nights. We generally don't operate 3 nights either side of FM, as productivity is way down due to the bight sky. Dark skies are obviously better for detecting a faint coma, so if theres a bright moon up it will definitely reduce our chances of detecting it. Keep in mind that we only do 20 or 30 sec exposures, so very faint comas wont always be obvious anyway.
