Well, I dragged the mount upstairs and plonked it down by the study window. Aligned on South using a compass offset by 11 deg for magnetic variation, clamped the Pentax istDS on top, plugged in the remote shutter release, unlocked the security screens, sat and waited.
After a few minutes we got a brief clearing and I snapped a couple of 10 second exposures using my 135mm manual focus lens set to f8.
It seems that patience is indeed a virtue!
Cheers
Dennis
