I checked the satellite images and Clear Sky clocks for Cherry Rd and they are all showing very severely clear skies!!! It appears the weather folks have listened to Thad, felt sorry for us Arizonans and have given us clear skies. Not sure how transparent they will be but there appears to be no clouds; also the water vapor seems to have been pushed out by the high pressure that moved in over night. As plans stand now I'll contact David Fredericksen and we'll plan on departure from my house. I can hear my telescope panting now! We got clear skies! aj -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
