Description

On a night forecast to be totally cloudless, it clouded over as soon as I'd aligned the scope. However, I figured I had nothing to lose so I set the ASIair to image Markarian's Chain when it was due to clear some trees, and was delighted to wake up this morning to discover it had worked. I was less pleased to discover that the supposedly cloudless night actually produced some light rain shortly before dawn. Got to love the UK.
