I had* a friend in Coppel, TX (a town just north of the DFW Airport) who had
a Questar scope. Just after 9/11/01, he was setting up in the backyard.
About dark, he got a loud knock at the gate and heard a voice said, "Open
up, Police!" He opened the gate to find a policeman staring him in the face
with his flashlight on full. Chuck said, "Something wrong?" The cop replied,
"We got a call from a neighbor that said you were setting up a mortar. Since
you are on the approach lane to DFW, I need to ask you some questions!"
Chuck invited the cop over to his telescope and said, "This is probably what
the neighbor saw" and invited the cop to look at a few night sky wonders.
After 5 minutes, the officer apologized and thanked Chuck for the amazing
views, then got back in his car and continued his beat.

* Chuck died last year, sorry to say.

And every time there's a blackout in a city these days, the police get lots
of calls about "strange lights in the sky."

Sometimes I have had them wonder why we had to wait until it was dark.
That's why we are out there, reacquainting humanity with their universe :-)
Thank you,

It has always amazed me at various public outreach events or the EVAC GRCO
operation, how the general public does not seem to grasp the concept of the
fact that we can't see through clouds..... Now if we have some nice radio
telescopes..... you know, like the setup over at Datil, NM.... (the
VLA..).

Ken, I'd love to join you, but the NWS site
(http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=34.58810&lon=-112.041&unit=0&l
g=english&FcstType=graphical) shows sky cover of about 45% all night.

I know it is early this Sunday morning, but looking at the CSC Cherry Road
seems the best bet to get in any telescope time until the end of the week.
Maybe Stan can fill us in on the weather the past 24 hours or so and if
there is any residual smoke from the Yarnell fire.Antenna site looks good
but the 95 to 104 predicted temp at 7:00 pm says no way. Anyone else
thinking Cherry Road Ken Sikes
