Howdy; Well, there has not been much astronomy, but I am camping and it is nice and quiet and the temperatures have been very comfortable. It is about Noon and there is about 50% cloud cover and I continue to hope for the best. George Kolb has just shown up and there are a couple of folks who are planning on arriving tomorrow (Thur). I do have two (count'em two) images of stars that I took earlier in the week, so it has not been a complete washout.
