Hi Lex

In Brissie, we tend to get still, steady nights in the muggy, hot summer, which is great for imaging the Moon and Planets, but lousy for galaxies due to poor transparency..

In the winter, when the skies are dry and transparent, the air seems unstable so the seeing is usually poor (stars twinkling madly) but the atmosphere is transparent and is great for imaging galaxies.

So, muggy and hot can be good sometimes!

Cheers

Dennis
