I tried reading this whole huge thread, but fell asleep. You look at the weather radar on the net during the day to see if its worth opening up, you look at the sky just before you do to check for clouds and you go !. After that, the only thing that counts whist imaging, and only if your not in the obs, as Steve accutely alludes to, is the 1st drop or rain, to alarm or close automatically. Instant reporting of rain is the key, all else is superfluous, and thats not hard (a guide-loss alarm is handy to indicate cloud BTW, several Apps do that). Do any weather stations indicate one drop of rain, right now??, I dont think so.
