As far as I can tell there was not a single report last year from anyone in Oz with an SQM.

That will not be true this year.

19.02 from the back yard, despite street lights bouncing off trees.

I found my entry for last year (mag 4). When the clouds go away it will be interesting to compare.

Thanks for the reminder.

I've checked their 2009 Google Earth SQM kmz file and there are no entries for Australia. Maybe Les's were earlier as I can see two entries for 2008.

17.36 near 151.16,-33.89
16.80 near 151.22,-33.87

I have this one http://unihedron.com/projects/sqm-l/ ordered straight from them. It arrived within about a week.

The plain SQM is a bit cheaper, others more expensive.
