Here is an image taken just now, 2pm MST. You can make your own
interpretation. It doesn't feel bad to me, but it depends on what you
want.

It is 8:10am Saturday morning. It was a nice clear night last night. I am
not sure a mid afternoon report would be valuable. Like I mentioned
below, during the day yesterday it did not look good at all but it
cleared up very nice. It seems with all the internet tools available,
such as sky clock, to get up updated weather forcasts, less than a day
before making a trip, these would be better than a mid day observation.
In the o- o- l- l- d- d days we had much less information to go on than
now and took our chances. Of course, gasoline wasn't as high then as it
is now. It would be interesting if anyone has kept any records from then
to now that could tell us if our hits are better now than then.

Okay. I should mention though, that mid afternoon did not look good.
Also around noon it rained and hailed for about a half hour in Prescott
Valley. But it all cleared up pretty good. I think tonight will be like
last night, clear but not very transparent. The two doubles of Epsilon
Lyrae were split nicely, but each pair had a glow around them and
Jupiter was not good for the same reason.

Could you give us a reading tomorrow mid-afternoon, Stan? With the
cloud
build up to the north and east in the afternoon these days, it's really
hard
to tell from here in Phx.
Thanks,

Are the Clear Sky Clocks are less accurate during the monsoon? Here
in
Phoenix the sky looks terrible at 7 pm (Friday), but the Sky Clocks say
that
it will be a perfect night for observing Cherry Road. Is it really
that
great?
