Congratulations Will Robinson! Welcome to the 12"er Club!!!!
So what if it's cloudy, it's a new scope. Try it out anyway. Look at the Cloud Nebula!
Now, if you are going to keep it in a Laundry, be aware of what moisture, dust, fluff and spiders can do to your scope. Cover it well! May I also suggest a huge shower cap for the mirror end. For this, go to a pet shop and get a plastic seed catcher for the bottom of a round bird cage. It looks just like a giants shower cap.
Enjoy!!!
