I am very fortunate that the observatory is on the west side of the house
sitting in the wind shadow. Fairly strong winds but 1 to 2 MPH measured at
ASDOG. All cameras running well. 1 PC lock up cost 7 min to reboot but that
has been the only mishap so far.
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray

I had wind problems here in New River too. Just shut down my camcorder after
Venus reached its own diameter inside the solar disc. Anxious to see what I
got ... can't tell much from the viewfinder other than verifying focus.
Gonna be a LOT of processing time to find the single frames that weren't
blurred by wind vibrations. But in the end, I should be able to put together
a nice time-lapse. Seeing was actually pretty good here, but there is a haze
in the air. Cooling down in my office now, but going out for some visual
H-alpha shortly.
