It was a frustrating weekend with high thin clouds Friday and Saturday. Sunday
the cloud cover was too thick and widespread to attempt anything. It wasn't
possible to do any real deep sky observing the past few days. I observed a few
of the brighter Messier objects on Friday and Saturday, but not much detail was
seen even in them. The temperatures were very comfortable and it was calm. Then
came Monday with the winds roaring through all day long, just now starting to
die down a little. It might even be clear tonight, but I see a bunch of the
schmutz that interfered with observing late last week sitting in the western
skies which usually blow our way. I don't know which I hate worse, the windy
clear nights or the hazy calm nights! Neither one can be truly used unless you
enjoy wide doubles or bright open clusters.
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Howdy all;
Well, you folks did not miss much. It was patchy clouds and mediocre
seeing for the last, lonely night at Antennas. Sunday evening was much
the same as Saturday. I did some wide double stars in the sucker holes
and I do have a fair selection to add into my notes. I am also happy with
some of the images I got earlier in the week.
It is quite windy back at the RV park near Wickenburg. I am glad I got
here before the wind really picked up.
I will see you at the meeting on Friday and hopefully at David
Fredericksen's Estate Sale for Saturday afternoon.
Take Care;
Steve Coe
