[sac-forum] Re: Cherry Rd Report - not bad!

Last night at Cherry wasn't all bad.  The sky was o.k. early but clouds slowly 
crept in from the south-southeast.   We lost almost the entire sky to cirrus 
clouds for a period of time which triggered more Perseid observing than 
anything else.  However, by 2:00am or so the eastern sky started to get more 
transparent.  This trend slowly spread across the entire sky.  I was able to 
make observations on 19 Herschel 400 objects until twilight at about 4:25am.

Thanks to all who came out - maybe 30 or so folks and 20ish telescopes!
I'm especially grateful for the warm welcome for us newbies and the help and 
advice from the older hands (not necessarily in age).
A very special thanks to Jennifer for the brownies!  I can only speak for 
the frosted, but it was delicious!  There is nothing like chocolate to 
compensate for miserable conditions - like clear skies, no light pollution, 
and good folks.  The chocolate made it all bearable<g>   I'm only sorry I 
couldn't stay longer, but now that I know what to expect, we'll make more 
elaborate plans.
Clear skies and keep the shiny side up.
