This is bad weather?
This was just posted to the Minor Planet Mailing List (reposted here with

This bad weather is not a yearly monsoon for most of us....this is the worst stretch (12 month period since 2009) that we have had here in this area in 40 years, in terms of sky transparency and cloud cover; factor in nights with very turbulent air and moonlight and we are shooting less than 15% of the nights in the past months. Inquiring with other observers throughout northern hemispheres (both east and west) reveal similar trends worldwide.
