I can't get this silly grin off my face now. LOLOL
Great stuff JJJ.

Speaking of clouds, we have some customers who are researchers at a
meteorological research institute at a German university, who use their
Argo Navis/ServoCAT equipped Mesu mount to track the sun in order to measure
microphysical properties of clouds using reflected solar and thermal radiation from
cloud sides. They have developed a scanner with three spectroradiometers
that is driven by the mount. They use these measurements to validate numerical
models they have created. The Argo Navis performs all the real-time tracking
computations.

Serious cloud watching.
