I am moving out your neck of the woods further up in the hills in a few months. Already bought a house. When you say 5-10% clear moonless nights is that over the last few years or the last year or so which has been a bit crap anywhere?

My dark site usually is clear when Sydney is cloudy - 90% of the time but the last year it has been the reverse. The clouds seem to be more on the western side of the Dividing Range.

Hey neighbour!! I just meant the current "annus horribilous" we're all having in Sydney. The first 1.5 years I was here it was better.

Are you going up Kurrajong Heights way or Bowen Mountain?

Cheers, Marcus
