So glad to see there was a great time for another night in a row and
regardless of the sky conditions. Now, if only we could do it for a third
night. Any takers? Sorry but I'm booked already.

To All,
It appears the both nights of Star Parties at Cherry II were successful!
Stepping on to the field my attention was attracted by a small stack of
rocks with a note sticking out. It's retrieval got the night started off
with smiles and laughs as it contained well wishes from the previous nights
group plus a listing of vehicles, souls, and conditions.
For our group the evening was looking as though it would be one sharing,
laughing and early bedtimes as it was 90% overcast with no definitive sign
that anything was going to change but shortly after sunset, things started
to clear and the evening was sharing, laughing and observing until the wee
hours. The fun continued on this morning with most of the group stopping in
at Rock Springs for breakfast. Overall a super party.
Both nights had 5 vehicles and 7 hearty observers. The Saturday night group
was treated the a "Pie Party" hosted by Mitch and Lori Prause (Mmmm, Good!)
Thank you to all who attended! Look forward to doing it again next month.
Hope to see you there,
Jimmy Ray

Might add we were all struck by the fact all the grass up there at the site
was a brilliant green. You might check around some of the rocks there for
any messages left.

Thank you for the great report AJ. I'm going up shortly and will be armed
with your call for observations. It'll be the "flashback" tour as I will be
using my little orange C-8. I remember when I used to think it was "BIG".
Now it's my "grab-n-go" scope...
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray

Turns out Dwight was there last night along with Dick, Darrell, Noah (his
son), Dan Gruber and myself. We were up till 3:00am seeing lots of doubles,
galaxies, clusters (but not Step 1), Pease 1 and meteors. All the meteors I
saw were clearly Perseids.
Weather was clear and cool. A great time was had by all.
I'll not be there tonight - still recuperating.

I have reviewed the weather and Clear Sky for tonight at Cherry road (Mostly
clear, calming breeze, dark sky). Looks similar to last night thought maybe
a smidge softer. I'll be leading the charge at about 4 PM today and will be
up there all night (as mentioned earlier, I don't do the break down and
drive in the wee hours thing well so I stay the night). I think Rick and
Dwight said they were in. Anyone else going up?
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray
