I'm afraid that is the norm. Over the last 18 months we've averaged something like 1.5 days a month. In the first 6 months of that I recorded only 5 suitable nights!!!! Cloud has been terrible but what amazes me is the amount of wind we've been getting in that time. It wasn't like that when I started 3 yrs ago.
Anyway, I blame Dave getting his Obsessionator & Carl & Michael getting their big APOs :lol:

Please Please tell me that even in this God Forsaken Isle, that getting
only about 20 observing seesions in in 9 months is not the norm.

well Trevor, I noticed that the high altitude of the obsessionator causes the airmass above it to rise, cool and condense into clouds, so yip its the scopes fault definitely !! :lol:
BTW, what with the mad pic in the sig Ben, I don't think they are allowed.
