That's when I'm glad my glad my 12" Newtonian is mounted on a Dobsonian mount. It's still very frustrating when I set everything up after coming home from work, to find the clouds have rolled in while I've been in the shower though.
I can't imagine how much more frustrating it would be if there was a huge amount of physical effort involved like lugging an EQ6, then the OTA etc etc; then going through the setup routine etc to have the weather turn sour. It'd drive me nuts.
Mind you, when it comes to the having the ability to track and image your targets, it's probably worth it. I'm very happy ATM to be a visual astronomer however!
Thank goodness for my dob
Cheers
