There's cloud around today and tonight, so I've had too much time messing about with Excel

I've plotted up the number of night hours (which for imaging nuts are ALL for imaging of course

If only there were 10-11hrs hours of dark clear skies this time of the year to have a decent go at the Orion region for a change
