      Thanks, it seems that not only is this a terrible spate of cloudy weather were having but any forecasted clear night is interrupted by cloud at some point. Oh well better luck next time!

    I'm just guiding on cappella atm, I'm getting less than 1 min of clear sky between clouds.

    Almost finished my dew heater controller. Unfortunately, one of the dimmer outputs is shorting out (it's eating up my fuses!). Once fixed I'll run a test and write a post.

    Went out last night to test my new AZ EQ6, got set up and polar aligned...clouds rolled in. Waited for 30mins then started to pack up...clouds cleared...started to reassemble kit...clouds rolled in and stayed!

    I've just bought the EQ6 AZ mount from Tring Astro!!! Still can't quite believe I've got it!

      Well "Cloudy ...again!" at least means there was a clear spell between the two, otherise it would be "Cloudy...still!". Guess I haven't helped much :-))
