Paul, are you aware of a French product with a similar name-- Klowd-Be-Gon!?

It comes in an aerosol can and is aimed skyward when you depress the nozzle.
A fine mist of cloud bursting chemicals waft skyward resulting in clear
skies in about 30 minutes.  One can will decloud about 100 square feet of
sky, so it gets kind of pricey for big cloud banks, but at 16 Euro per can,
it's not a bad deal.  The chemicals in it do, however, cause baldness in
javelinas.

I was going to order some for this week off the Internet, but they say they
are backordered into 2009.

Astronomers:



I've been working on a revolutionary new weather improvement product for 
visual astronomers, but it may not be ready for Sentinel.  It's called 
Cloud-B-Gon, and here's how it works:  This new product is a large "fool the

eye" (Trompe de l'oeil) mural.  It shows the inside of your observatory 
through a fake open door, and shows an empty pier. Simply apply this 
adhesive backed, water-resistant mural to your roll-off roof, or even to 
your garage door, and the moist.- oops, I wasn't going to use that word; and

the cloud demons will think you gave up astronomy. You'll need enough panels

for all sides of your observatory as added protection against clouds and 
telescope thieves, who, of course, will think you don't have one.  That's 
not all, a new version of Cloud-B-Gon is coming soon: It shows a smashed 
primary mirror on the floor.
