Same here Ivan
cloudy in melbourne for the next 3 days
last night looked clear so took my new mount out, did a rough alignment, popped in the ep to focus, was white, couldnt see a star in sight. looked up, and the darn clouds had rolled in. its like they were waiting.
in all the excitement of a few hours of clear sky, i set up my mount with the RA pointing north instead of south following the N sticker!! but the goto still surprisingly worked. felt a bit foolish. (its the first time i've ever set up an eq mount)
i look up while driving home as well. keep thinking, dont these clouds ever get tired, where is their never ending source of energy from.
but to answer your question, just to see all the stars out there is so rewarding.
looking at a low moon while driving gave that out of this world feeling that reminds you you're on a planet and there're others out there. like the venera spacecraft pics of the surface of venus.
oh well.
