To my surprise skies cleared and seeing looked really nice this evening. Unfortunately my VMC was stored in my heated office. It had only about half an hour to cool down when I started imaging. I shot a first test AVI with only rough focus and still well noticable tube current. After the first shot the clouds rolled in again :( It was quite fun to watch the Losmandy following Saturn for about an hour with the ToUcam set to maximum gain cutting through the clouds but imaging made no more sense...
