OK, so who bought what and how many weeks of cloud are we to expect.
I didn't buy anything, but I confess to a purchase this morning that wasn't available at Astrofest. Been admiring the Astrodon NB filters for ages, but can't justify the expense.
Baader have produced some 3.5nm Ha filters and the 1.25" has just become available it costing £210, and Astrodon 3nm are £573.
The Baader ones are apparently enforced (whatever that means), but I thought I'd give it a try.

Ok Carole you know I bought some things that amount to no clear sky for DSC 2019 and may be 2020 so sorry to everyone. Julian
i arranged to buy from 365Astronomy (there was a guy demonstrating it from the makers in italy) a Primaluce Lab EAGLE3 S - Advanced Control Unit for Telescopes and Astrophotography, and associated cables , may get the an ECCO, environmental computerized controller for EAGLE , if i can run to it.
