How often do you get to use your telescope?

I purchased my Telescope March 31st, and how only been able to use it 4 times out of this month due to cloudy weather. Hopefully I'll get to use it for a 5th time tonight. How many nights, on average, do you get to use your telescope in 30 days time?How often do you get to use your telescope?
I don't have one but I suggest taking it at least once away from any buildings or towns. Much of what you see is hidden behind lights from towns or cities. Try going out to the countryside, about a mile or two away from any people. On a clear day this is the best you can get!How often do you get to use your telescope?
Well, your doing better then me, but its been fairly cloudy where I live in Oregon. Its been fairly cloudy most nights here. Weekend after next, I'm hoping to get out to central Oregon for a observing run of at least 3 nights.
Perhaps 3 or 4 nights a month. A lot depends on where you live. I live close to the Great Lakes in southern Canada, and there's always a lot of moisture in the air.
