Darn cloud pixies

[Beyond_Vision]

Don't you hate it when you have carefully set up all your kit, polar aligned, focused your guide scope, focused your imaging scope, selected your target, framed your subject NGC7000 perfectly (see pic below), scoffed your tea down ready to crack on then come out to find the cloud pixies have been at it again. I was sooooooo annoyed, it had been pretty much clear most of the day and was looking like it was set to be a cracking night but nope in rolled the clouds. Just one 10 min sub would have been nice but alas no chance.

Thanks all but just imagine if the weather had held out for at least 1 hour I would have had some pretty decent subs to stack. That pic was a single 2 minute exposure at ISO1600, to check framing on my Canon 400D.
