And it's cloudy

Pulled the pin today on something I've been wanting to do for quite a while. Purchased a ZWO ASI294MC PRO. I've been using my trusty QSI683 ws8 for 10 years and it was due for some attention so I've sent it to Atik in Portugal for an overhaul. Unfortunately that process has taken longer than I was expecting so I decided to pick up a new OSC camera to keep me busy now that the rain seems to have subsided.

Got it all working this afternoon and managed to get Voyager autofocus and plate solving working before the clouds rolled in. My last OSC camera was a QHY8 PRO and I really regret selling it however I'm hoping the technology has improved since then. I'm looking forward to some clear nights with the ASI294MC camera and hoping to start producing some images again.
