[sac-forum] Re: Night of clouds at Dirt Blvd

Thanks Steve for taking the clouds with you when you left.  By 10:30 it was 
mostly clear and fairly transparent.  Lynn and I split doubles and looked for 
red stars from 11:30 till almost 01:00.  Chris had a good night looking at some 
bright galaxies.  And the comet was over head about 12:30 in clear sky.

  Howdy all;



  Well, yet again, it was clear in the afternoon and then clouded over once the 
Sun went down.  I have grown very tired of this scenario.  We had 11 vehicles 
and folks hoping for some good viewing and it never materialized.  A few stayed 
behind, but most of us gave up about 9:00 PM as a big cloud bank made its way 
over the western horizon.  We did get a short peek at Comet Holmes.  It is 
still bright, pretty large and round with an off-center central core.  What an 
amazing object.



  Oh well, here's hoping that the last Sentinel Star Party for next weekend 
will do better.



  See you there;

  Steve Coe
