Aaarrrrrggggghhhhh!
Beautiful day here today, not a cloud in the sky, first time in literally months. My IS camera arrived back from being on loan today as well, so I'm ready to get some planetary imaging in.
I got the tripod out in the afternoon and did a rough alignment, spotted Jupiter and Saturn in the still blue sky.
Wen't inside to get the power cables and the scope, brought them outside. Popped the IS camera into the eyepiece holder.
Ducked back in to get the Aeroguard and lathered up. Walked out, mounted the scope, connected the power, fired up the mount and went to the 3 star alignment and chose the first star.
Looked to the sky to choose the best candidate...and they had all disappeared.
The entire sky had somehow gone from completely clear to total cloud cover in those few minutes, and I hadn't noticed.
Not even a sucker-hole left, and rain forecast again for tomorrow.
I'm taking up darts.
