We had a pretty good night last night here, too, though it didn't seem to be as
dark as it should have been. It had been windy all day and I thought it was
dust in the air. I just found out that there was a major human-caused fire
about 45 miles away and, of course, the breeze from it was blowing our way...
Anyway, I was able to observe a few objects in Orion, but the contrast was fair
and the seeing was pretty good. I then observed M67 under high power to see
what my magnitude limit in my 13-inch was. I estimate around 16th magnitude.
Tonight looks good, maybe less breezy and a little warmer, but the smoke from
the fire still seems to be blowing in my direction. I'm going out anyway and
see what I can see.
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

A beautiful night at Dewey. The forecast was for clear skies tonight and
so I took the opportunity to get some spectra since the 5 day forecast
doesn't look good. Just beautiful and calm. But cold. The forecast is
for a low of 24 tonight.
