Congratulations on the purchase Ben. I wouldn't be too worried about the cloud, it has been a constant thorn in my side for so long I care not to remember.
I'm assuming you are imaging with your ED80. Do you have an extension (50mm long would do it) for it to bring your camera in to focus, if you are using a DSLR? If not you may want to get on to your vendor and get them to throw one in for you otherwise you will end up imaging through a diagonal and while it is convenient and better than laying on the ground when pointing at zenith it is less than ideal in the long run.
Enjoy your scope, they are a ripper way to get into it and living out at Wilton you should have some pretty good sky out there for it.
