Rogue Cloud

Last night I was imaging and the forecast was for it to be clear, the sky was crystal no clouds at all. It was humming away and all was good.

I went to bed and about an hour later I wake up and its raining outside.
At first I thought it must have been wind but I go outside and check.

A mad dash to the observatory and close the roof and there was only a small amount of water on the scope and bits.

By the time I left it the sky was crystal again and I could see the very large rogue cloud that has just dropped a shower.

That was pretty rare but weather does whatever it does and assumptions can cause trouble.

Greg.
