Hi, There was cloud here too about an hour ago which was annoying but it has now passed over thankfully. Be patient and you might get the clear sky you've been expecting. ? I'd say imaging in a light polluted area that narrowband is the way to go.

Cheers,
Steve

I feel your ire.

2 hours to set-up, polar align, collimation of Celestron C-6, then 3 star alignment, focus........ get the electronics all singing to each other,  and wires not snagging.....

20 x 1 min  Luminosity  ( 'bout 1/2 useable ).......... cloud rolls in.....  great.

Clear skies here at my dark site in Bromsgrove ?

I feel your pain. 9 times out of 10 when it's clear here I'm either stuck at work all night or it's near a full moon. 

I've had my qhy183c for about 5 months and I've yet to complete a single image.

I know how you feel about the weather. Its been  pretty bad for  my location for the majority of my last season.
However this season,  I think that things could get better?

Better, mainly due to the distinct darkness that has fallen over my plot, due to the replacement of the sodium street lamps with the newer LED units, also, I still have the ability to be fully setup and running within just a few minutes, but those high power observations  will still be dependent on the temperature of the scope compared to its surroundings.

But no matter how dark it is, or how well my setup is, if those pesky clouds appear, its game over!

Frustration now will make the clear nights when they come all the sweeter. Remember: tough times never last, tough people do.

Yeah I hear ya.. the amount of times that I was roapable because of those fluffy $#*&%^$# is beyond reasonable..... the one time that comes to mid is the Super Blue Blood moon in January... total cloud cover.. ARGHHHHHH!!!!

To save time you can use a OSC camera or (for extra resolution), use your ASI1600MM for a Luma shot and a OSC camera for nothing but the color data all in one hit, than combine them....
