Actually I think I'm responsible for the bad weather. I purchased a Hutech modified Canon XTi camera from Adirondack and it arrived last Tuesday around noon of last week. After the arrival the weather got progressivley worse and worse until it was raining and lightening and really carrying on. While my friend who lives in Portland Oregon it was beautifully clear. He got a great view of the eclipse from his backyard. Go figure.

I am probably to blame for the foul weather during the lunar eclipse as I bought a 8mm Stratus and a Crayford focuser. Although the weather looks to be better on Friday night, Saturday night looks to be about what we have been getting most weekends. I know that this is pretty far out (from a Monday point of view) however I haven't been out since Sentinel. Hope the weather works out for us all.
