Over the last 20 years I've averaged around 35 nights of dark sky observing per year. In 2012 I had 18 nights of dark sky observing and 5 of those were partially cloudy. 8 of the nights were smoky. Two of the nights were outstanding and I'll remember them for a long time so all is not lost. Here's how it breaks down for the year:

January - 1 night
February - 0
March - 0
April - 3 nights
May - 3 partial nights
June - 0
July - 2 partial nights, one full night
August - 7 nights, all smoky
September - 1 smoky night
October - 0
November - 0
December - 0

The two outstanding nights were in January (Mauna Kea) and April (Likely Place, northern California). For the first time since 1986 I had no decent nights in Oregon, and that's the rub - I live in Oregon!

Bad luck I know, but I just need to have a little fit and get over myself ! There, I feel better now...
