I was hoping to do some star shots last night on my way back from Norfolk. Scattered clouds during the day had made it lovely, towards sundown the skies cleared so I got set up then before it got dark the clouds had covered nearly all the sky

According to the "cheats", you should have taken the photos, scanned them, loaded them into PhotoShop, taken the clouds out and put in a perfect blue sky.
But I think you did the right thing!
These digital (so called) photographers do not understand photography.

Sometimes you only have seconds to record a landscape and have to work fast. That's just one reason I'll never use a tripod. This autumn has been like that for me: recent trips to Dungeness and Snowdonia had only fleeting moments of the right light. Fiddling about with tripods and, cable releases, changing lenses etc. would have led to even more frustration.
Travel light and shoot fast...
Hang on, Peter: I can't tell a pro like you anything about photography!

They don't seem to care about that. they go, "Look at what I've done, aren't I clever.", not realising it looks false.
