[AZ-Observing] Re: Saturday night telescoping?

Steve,

I've had the same thought since rolling out of the rack this morning to
a bright sunny backyard.  I'm waiting as well until about 5 to make a
final decision, and if it looks good, I'm going to head out to Flatiron
to try and get some time in.

Right now (11:30am), at my home about 30 minutes from Flatiron it is
about 50% cloudy so it isn't looking promising.  I'll post back to this
list around 4pm with a report of the conditions west of the valley.

Hoping for photons,

Mike

Well;
It is 10:30 AM and there are some blue skies overhead.  A peek at the
weather map shows the coast of California is getting lots of rain and
clouds.  I think that this break in the clouds is just a fake to get us
to pack up the scope in hopes of using it this evening, only to cloud up
by 6:45 PM and laugh at us from above.

But, I am willing to decide at about 4 this afternoon or so.  Maybe we
can get in a run to Flatiron and do a little observing before the next
squall line moves in.

We shall see;
Steve
