I'm not for telescoping this weekend - it's the weather. Was going to fly up north with friend to see snow but guess what's in the forecasts - snow flurries. Looks like the weather has almost everything shut down.

OK, everyone--- who got the new scope??? Here we are, entering another 3Q moon weekend, and the forecast is shabby. Friday night at Saddle Mountain II, a low of 48F, winds at 5 kt, and 57% sky cover. Saturday night, low of 38F, winds at 3 kt, and 30% sky cover. Steve Coe, does getting an "astro camper" count the same as a telescope when cloudy weather is concerned? If so, we may have to ask you to move to Minnesota. Ahem. I'll keep an eye on the forecast today, but as it sits now, I might have to skip the Saddle Mountain SP this weekend. Anyone planning on going out regardless of the weather? Dick Harshaw Cave Creek, AZ "First, get the facts, then you can distort them at your leisure." -- Mark Twain, 1835-1910
