The cloud sensor is great - all you need is an auto garage door setup for your roll-off roof, so it can auto-roll off and if it gets cloudy, the roof can auto roll back on. I'm sure you've already thought of it  |
Hi Mike,
Trust me I've had some nasty emails from narrow minded people.

I found a small group of people who are anti-go to and automation, they think its cheating as I don't have to work hard, stay up late, tweak the hardware night to night. Sleeping and taking images!!! PLEASE!! That’s not astrophotography? Is it?<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_i1026" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:13.5pt;height:13.5pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\BRADMO~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ msohtml1\01\clip_image002.gif" o:href="http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/smilies/happy04.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]-->

If you have any ideas please share.
I know the cloud sensor can close it for sure.
Cheers,
