Thanks Wolfgang - this is a great little thread. I have to admit I have been naughty and started using Voyager for imaging recently because I needed a solution that was more robust in how it handled weather events - both clouds and rain. (I still keep my subscription to Ekos Live to support the team as much as I can!)

Whilst it's a nice package (excellent autofocus routine for example) and handles weather events exceptionally well - it it's scheduler isn't anywhere near as cool at Kstars/Ekos (and I think this community is so much nicer to work with) and of course, Linux support!

I love your suggestions for people who are not using cloud sensors (sensors that also time to time don't always detect clouds!) - it would be great to see a more integrated weather exception handling model - suspend versus abort logic.

I recognise that there are some risks involved - I just don't know how much recoding would be required to support a "weather conditions" overnight module (wind, light, clouds and rain).
