Hi JJJ,
when I went to Norfolk Island a year or so ago, I thought it would be terrific to look starwards from a dark sky location. Can you imagine, this tiny pinprick of land right in the middle of the ocean. Not a city light for over 1000k's in any direction. I even bought a new pair of binocs to take and was pondering on getting a portable scope too.
Boy, am I glad I didn't, There was one half hour timeslot of cloudless skies in the whole fortnight. The rest of it was the same as you east coasters seem to be getting atm... clouds clouds and more clouds.
But, on the bright side, I saw more in the half hour than i'd ever see from my lp'd surburban skies here in Perth.
But I wouldn't go overboard is all I'm saying I guess.
Have a great holiday hey
