Without moving house/telescope, obviously we get the
weather we get, and not much can be done about it.
However, if there are specific observing projects
you have in mind for the autumn sky, it's reasonable
to think about what you can do right now at dawn
in the next two or three weeks in anticipation that
skies might not be consistently good come October.
I have about 10 nights coming up on the Lowell 0.7-m
telescope in robo mode for photometry, so I'm trying
to figure out how many target stars I can squeeze in
during the last couple hours each night.
