    Yes would be nice, sky was clear last night, but can almost guarantee that it'll cloud over for tonight.

    Can report no clouds but still have a problem. It is not dark here until after 11 my time lol

    Should really be in my bed but as I am on vacation I think I will give it a go, still there are three nights to watch so we still have the weekend

    It's still cloudy here, so I think we will, as usual, have no chance.

    The Sky's clearing here, so perhaps we'll have a chance, may get the scope out of the van.
