Steve, it will be touch and go for a few months, so I guess we better get used
to it! It cleared up here last night after midnight, and when the sun came up
the sky was pretty clear.
Clear Skies,
Chris

Howdy all;
At about midnight I stepped outside the RV and saw a very nice view of the
Summer Milky Way. Once I got dark adapted there was lots of detail along
the galaxie's glow. From M 6 and 7 all the way through Sagittarius and
Aquila into Cygnus there was a very obvious play of light and dark areas.
So, Clark's observatory site in New Mexico has pretty dark skies, at least
equal to Cherry Road on a 6 out of 10 night and that is pretty useful. It
is north of Deming at 4836 feet.
There was some lightening off to the east and I decided to shoot some
images from off a tripod. By the time I got the camera set up and got
back outside the clouds had covered about half the Milky Way and the
lightening storm had died down. Oh well.
But, it was nice for a while;
Steve Coe
