Ah, clouds are our worst enemy!
They are always there when there is an event or you buy a new eyepiece or... when you are on holiday and want to see something special, like a sunset...
When there was the sun eclipse here at the end of April I was excited, went to check a location, went there 1 hour before the event even if it was close... Perfectly clear skies. Then the eclipse started and the attached image is all I could see before the sun disappeared behind clouds until the end of the eclipse.... See that tiny black arc? It was just to whet my appetite... (The moon eclipses were TOTALLY behind clouds.)
Sorry about the SD card!
