20250113 Unexpected Partial Clear Skies

It has been raining all these days, but it cleared up suddenly.

The sky is not getting total dark until now (17:10), the night is getting shorter.

Setup the S30 for some observations.

First target is NGC 1499 the California Nebula which is pretty high on the sky, but cloud started rolling in.  Maybe another typical night that only these smart telescope could be used.  It simply didn't worth to setup anything more complicated.

It cleared up a bit later at the night, but there were still random cloud moving.

Got over 3.5 hours of exposure, over 450 frames stacked with over 100 frames ignored due to various reasons, mostly because of cloud.

Processed solely by the S30.
