Stan, we had a pretty good night at Cherry Road. I rated the skies 6 and 6
for seeing and transparency. Got a lot of galaxies observed. But tonight,
the weather forecast is really falling apart, so I'll be staying home
tonight.
If your 5-incher is a short F/L Newtonian, I suspect the sky background
would be brighter than what you might be used to, but having not looked
through it, of course, that's only a guess.

Where will people be observing tonight? Unfortunately, I couldn't make
it to the Cherry Rd site last night. I have a refractor I would like to
get opinions on. It is a 5" Explore Scientific. It seemed to be good
when I tested it out, but I still have reservations. For one, I feel the
background in the star field should be darker than it was up here last
night, but since I have little experience with refractors I do not know.
