Before we relegate the weekend's observing reports completely to the
past, I wanted to quickly add my 2 cents.
AJ pretty much summed it up for Friday night. Clear, cool, camaraderie.
The sky was completely cooperative. And although my planned observing
program was derailed by "new" equipment bugs, I managed to soak up
plenty of eye candy nonetheless. Plus, it didn't hurt that neighbors on
either side (Crayon and Harshaw) called out frequently to share their
views.
And note to self: "Even in August at 4400 feet, it gets cooler than you
might think. My denim shirt, while tolerable, could have used some help
from about midnight until 3'ish (crash time).
Looking forward to doing it again - minus the equipment bugs.
Darrell Spencer

Turns out Dwight was there last night along with Dick, Darrell, Noah
(his
son), Dan Gruber and myself. We were up till 3:00am seeing lots of
doubles,
galaxies, clusters (but not Step 1), Pease 1 and meteors. All the
meteors I
saw were clearly Perseids.
Weather was clear and cool. A great time was had by all.
I'll not be there tonight - still recuperating.

I have reviewed the weather and Clear Sky for tonight at Cherry road
(Mostly
clear, calming breeze, dark sky). Looks similar to last night thought
maybe
a smidge softer. I'll be leading the charge at about 4 PM today and will
be
up there all night (as mentioned earlier, I don't do the break down and
drive in the wee hours thing well so I stay the night). I think Rick and
Dwight said they were in. Anyone else going up?
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray
