As to being disingenuous, I think my comments were clear to all that are not seeking to ascribe malice, but let me spell it out. We have had "on occasion" nights which have been of simlar quality to Coonabarabran. To be clear, I am not saying that Wiruna is the equivalent to Coonabarabran, only that we have had nights of similar quality as reported by a hand-held sky quality meter.

I am a lowly amateur astronomer, who enjoys visually observing the night sky as a hobby. Nothing I say should be taken as a scientific statement. I have presented the data that I have about clear nights and people can make their own decisions based on that, the papers you have provided etc. But mostly, I think people will make up their mind just by going there and working out if the conditions justify their commitment of time and effort.

I do not know why you want to invent some conspiracy where there is none. Wiruna is a place where a group of about 50 or so regulars go each month to observe, image and socialise. If people enjoy coming along, they are more than welcome.
We host a star party each year, which again people are free to attend or not. We have had observing at the previous 3 star parties, so the place can't be all bad?
Cheers.
