Hi all, I was working out that in the last five months I have managed just eight hours of imaging and one hour of viewing (I was desperate so I set up regardless)
While not entirely due to cloud and rain, there have been a few great nights missed due to work and other clear nights where I didn't bother due to temps in the 30's and jet streams right above me.
I know that there are a lot of us having great runs of clear sky and I'm very envious
but I'm sure there are a few out there like me as well.
I think the only way around this is an Obs and permanent setup that way you are ready to go at a moments notice and not have to worry about losing that rare hour or two between cloud banks with setup procedures.
Cheers
