[AZ-Observing] Friday night at Cherry Rd II

Last night was just so-so.  I gave seeing a 6 and transparency a 7.  
Rich Walker gave them 5 and 7 respectively.  Seems to me the breezy 
conditions were still active in the winds aloft.  This didn't stop the 
four of us from doing so observing, but nothing very serious.  Had 
excellent view of the Ring in Rich's 13.1", NGC6645/40 in Chuck Aker's 
17.5" (See image posted by Jon Christensen at 
http://christensenastroimages.com/clusters/ngc6440-6445.htm from two 
days ago) and the Crescent Nebula in Ken Reeves's 20" (he calls this one 
the ear!).

Regardless of the so-so seeing we all enjoyed being out under the stars 
and having cool weather.

We began packing up around 11:30pm but the moon didn't rise until much 
closer to midnight.

Clear skies to all,
aj
