arrg...

3 hrs setting up...
waiting for dark skies..

and nothing but overcast!

....result: A Lonely (edit) drive home!

How do you guys find out about overcast? and clouds?


I checked BOM before i left for observing and it reported "fine, passing clouds" there was a complete blanket of overcasting clouds.
I waited about a hr to see if it would go anywhere but nope!

Any hints tips on how to make sure the night will stay clear before heading out?

Or is it all part of this increasingly frustrating hobby(..yet sometimes enjoyable)? haha
