Hello Chris,
We used to loose only 1 night in 5 to cloud. Of late, we are only getting 1 clear night in 3! Lucky for us, we no longer run public tours, so people traveling all the way from the USA, are not being effected.
However, with our new public internet telescope system, which came online in November last year, has certainly been badly effected and is giving a bad "first impression". Grove Creek was always known for its clear skies (even when it was pouring with rain in Bathurst!). I certainly hope things are going to improve soon, as we have spent over $5,000 automating our 3 observatory buildings for remote internet use and mebership fees where planed to cover this.
Oh well, someone out there must have bought a HUGE 'scope, because as we ALL know, it will always be cloudy after you make a new purchase :-)
Thanks for thinking of us, most kind of you.
