The North American observers have a term for that - You've been Nasoned! One of the currently active observers, Guy Nason, in Canada, has it happen to him so regularly he even applies the term to himself. Yet he soldiers on, brave chap.
I've had something similar happen to me last December - the target star just passed behind the very tippy-top of a tree, right at expected even time, and came back into the clear after it was all over. I wasn't too impressed either, that time. Good thing I've been doing astronomy for a quite a while and I'm used to Murphy's sense of humour.
