Rain Detector

[Tom Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

Last night I looked at the "Clear Sky Clock" and it was forecasting clear 
sky all night.  So I opened up and ran everything.  This morning Jennifer 
reported that the ground looked wet.  I rushed up to the dome to find that 
the rain detector had closed up for me.  Rahh!

It was just a light shower so TOM1 was not very wet.  I have long lens 
shields on TOM1 which points at -4 to +16 so these protect the lenses from 
getting rained on.  The clear sky detector was causing TOM1 to take darks 
all night.  So I could use that to close up TOM1 if I built a drive for the 
Coo Coo clock mount.

This morning the "Clear Sky Clock" was reading "no data available".
