The astro gods are definitely not smiling on Melburnians. If we ever get a 'clear' sky it's either smokey, Moonlit or dewy. Took all my gear out last night and ended up not even looking into an eyepiece.
Dew came in very early drenching everything. Did anyone else even bother? Would massive dew protection be the answer? (Wouldn't help a 60% Moon though!).
