Another M17 through high cloud

Here's what I have to show for another frustrating session last night. M17 taken with the QHY8 and 10" Newt. 20x5mins with waves of high cloud passing over throughout the imaging session.

There are some artifacts in the image that the flats don't seem to be dealing with. I had issues earlier in the evening with the camera lense dewing up that I need to get to the bottom of.

I spent some time earlier in the evening playing with the paracorr spacing and think I've got the spacing right now however I need to work on colimation and check for tilt.
