Question Clear tonight?

What are the odds that Sydney will have a clear night tonight? Skippy doesn't look too bad but there is some cover creeping in from the west later on. Cutting it too short?

PS: I know that sounds a little desperate but after 1h on the phone with Telstra tech support yesterday I need some astro love.

Not here in northern Tassie. A whole heap of smoke from the mainland has swamped us. Bugger it!

Beautiful here at Wallaroo and seeing is ok too, so good in fact I was able to start imaging earlier than expected when the object was really quite low (I was amazed actually) so I'll just keep ing it holds or even gets better...small chunks of puffy cloud appearing and disappearing at times though, nothing has come near my imaging area yet..touch wood

It been clear here in Sydney in the evenings for the last 3 days. Not bad. Looking average for the new moon weekend though.
