Temps shouldn't be too bad with all the clouds... forecast says lots of wind
too. What a revolting predicament this is! I'm still packed from Grand Canyon,
hoping to go observing here this wknd and complete test-out of my scope with
the ServoCat/Argo Navis on it. I tested it at GCSP and the first night was
plugged in to wrong serial port with too high a baud and it wouldn't track or
go-to all night. Thought it was a software problem but turned out to be ESO as
usual.
Maybe if I unpack it all from the car it will clear up.

Maybe we need "virtual-reality" star parties at home, complete with the
sound of coyotes and the swooping of hoot-owls (dive bombing Steve Coe), and
the buzzing of astronomer voices talking about the latest green star! We
could use voice entry to name the desired object, at which time we'd hear
the whirring of an old Meade mount and see a beautiful image of a galaxy in
an eyepiece - all in the comfort of our dens. Of course it would be more
real if we had a huge conference call set up to announce our discoveries.
