[sac-forum] Re: Observing tonight?

Peter 

     here are the directions to the Hovatter site south. I plan on arriving 
there about 1800.  I allow two hours to get there......Joe

This site is 100 miles from central Phoenix.  Drive west on I-10 to the
Hovatter Road exit; that is exit number 53.  This is about 40 miles past the
Palo Verde nuclear power plant.  At the end of the off ramp, turn left over
the freeway and drive over the canal and then the road takes a sharp right
and the pavement ends at a "dead end" sign.  Turn left at the sign and you
will be headed directly toward some radio and cell phone antennas.  After
you pass the antennas the road takes a sharp right and makes its way through
a wash or stream gulley; then the road levels off for half a mile before you
pass into a second gulley.  As soon as you come out of the second gulley the
observing site is on your left.  It is a large desert pavement that is
exactly 2 miles from the I-10 freeway.

  The weather data seems to indicate that the most likely sites for decent 
observing conditions are WSW from metro Phoenix.
  Included in that list are: Vekol, Hovatter and Sentinel. Flatiron doesn't 
look bad; even Cherry Road may be good later.

  Where is everyone going this evening? Anyone considering Hovatter? Could 
someone post directions to Hovatter, as I've seen reference to both north and 
south sites.

  Sunset at 7, moonset and end of astronomical twilight are 8:30.
