Brian, et al;
Just to set the record straight, I rated the Thursday at 5 Mile Meadow as a
9 out of 10...certainly much better than most nights recently. The Milky
Way was very bright and the dark lanes from the Lagoon up through Cygnus
were fascinating and had a very high contrast with the silvery glow of Our
Galaxy. I sat down at one point and just started naked eye and with the
small binoculars. It was half an hour of pure joy.
Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe

Such nights are not uncommon, though you do have to be here
for them. We've had three more essentially identical nights
here since last Thursday---including the one presently under way,
which may be one of Steve C's "10 out of 10" nights. I'm going
to go out now and stare at it some more from the telescope dome
catwalk.
