    Just spent two hours setting up tonight. Perfect polar align, drift aligned, guide star locked in. ten minute exposures looking fine, then I take first image and bang - obscured by cloud. Look up again, whole sky is covered. There have been maybe 4 nights in this winter that imaging is possible and every one on the full moon!

    Similar thing this evening for me.
    Pretty clear out, got the HEQ5 Polar aligned, guidecamera focused/PHD opened, M81/M82 focused in main scope, framed them nicely,
    Clicked to guide in PHD, open shutter on the DSLR, and bang, high level hazy cloud, getting thicker by the minute.
    Got 3 5 minute subs.
    Absolutely infuriating :(
