Cloud Data

[Tom Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

The last several nights I have taken data when there was a lot of cloud 
cover.  One night produced only 3 good frames out of 250 or so.  The second 
night had more good data but still less than 50%.

The cloud processor seems to do a good job.  When I looked at data on the 
nights with clouds, it did not have significantly greater spread than data 
from clearer nights.  My conclusion is that I can just take data every 
night and let the processing worry about what is good and what is too 
cloudy to use.

My only problem with the cloud program is that it insists on deleting the 
frame with Betelgeuse.  Possibly I can tune it a little better.

I am thinking about only saving the raw data frames that pass the cloud 
program.
