to seasoned astronomers, how long to wait for clear weather?

I've been observing since 1995, and have never seen it so bad for cloud, never this long

Keith..

I've had a look over my imaging logs for the past 5 years, there is usually some imaging done every month, but I stopped in August and have done almost nothing since, that's the biggest gap in 5 years. The weather is just absolute crap ! :x

Same for me for any kind of observing. The past year has been really lousy. Apart from last Spring - we had a very sunny Spring 2006.

Looking at my imaging log it shows,

Sept 06- 7 nights
Oct 06- 2 nights
Nov 06- 4 nights
Dec 06 - 3 nights
Jan 07 - 0 nights

for comparison in Jan 06, I got 4 nights out and by this stage had 2 sessions under the belt!

Here's my imaging log:

Hi,
Funny how memory can be so short. Remember many weeks of continuous cloudy weather (that was pure fustration) before we saw that really great comet Hyakutake in 1996.
