Spending my holiday in Bali, brought my Televue Genesis, nice weather, friendly people, but since Feb 2 there was NO clear night at all. Only stars between the clouds. Two years ago I had a few clear nights. I did not expect much as this is a rather cloudy location but that is is that bad for observing I did not know.
While deploying my scope the sky gets clouded.
Earlier trips to Bali were a little better and other humid tropical environments which I traveled to like Fiji, Tahiti, Brazil. In all these places I got a few clear nights.
Of course arid environments like Chile, South Africa and Northern Territoty are MUCH better.

What are your experiences with observing in the tropics ?
