Just before dark I got out the 16" because there was only a couple of small clouds on the horizon and it looked like a very promising night, did a bit of collimating then got a quick look at Saturn and Ngc 2903 when I felt a few spits of rain, and a quick coverup was made, only to uncover 15 minutes later but only for a short as the clouds rolled in again, so packed up, just in time because it hissed down.
Just had a look outside ,some cloud , Jupiter shining brightly in the east,lots of clear sky but am not going to get caught again.:P

Sucker holes Ron, Its hard to resist.
Especially if the observing has been thin on the ground !

Really irritating when that happens or when its cloudy so you don't put your scope out to cool then it clears into a beautiful night.

Part of the sport :)
