Yes I agree. After the all cloudy nights I've had recently and the dust storms, I can't honestly remember the last time I went out.
Ah but it's the beauty of this hobby. Very much a patience game that requires everything to fall into place before you can head outdoors.
Free night - Check
Cloudless skies - Check
Favourable seeing conditions - Check
Moonless sky - Doh!
Game over, try again.
