The forecasts I looked at show 45-50% cloud cover all night Saturday into
Sunday.
Doesn't look good…

I am seeing that it will be partly cloudy to clear at Cherry Road tomorrow
evening, with a possible thunderstorm in the early evening. That isn't great
but things may still change. I could probably wait until the mid afternoon to
finally decide to go or not.
Is anyone else seeing anything different?
Thanks

Those are my thoughts as well Howard. With how sporadic the clouds have been
the last few days, it feels too early to call.

Let's not give up on Saturday night just yet. A couple of the forecasts show
clearing over the weekend. Keep an eye on the Cherry Road area and hope for
the best.

It looks like Terry can't make it on Friday, so Saturday might be a better
bet, but the weather will drive this, obviously. Between either Friday or
Saturday, we should be able to do something.

Cool looks like we have a lot of takers for Friday and or Saturday, now
hopefully mother nature cooperates with us.

If you go to the Saguaro astronomy website, they have a link for observing
sites, and one is Cherry Road. You go N on I 17 and turn left on 169. Then
you go about 5 miles west to 372 (looks like a forest road). Then go south
about one mile and you are there. I would like to go but the weather will
make it unlikely. Sam

I think it's about 70 miles north off the I-17
20ish miles northeast of Mayer I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Slightly off topic, but where is the Cherry Road site please? I've looked
in the PAS maps section but do not see it listed. Perhaps on another
club's site? Thanks in advance...

If you guys want to go to Cherry Road, I could go on either Friday. 8-14
or Saturday, 8-15. I agree that antennas will be too hot.

Dewell,
I would love to go. I was actually planning on going there Saturday the
15th. I've never been there before so I don't know where to go. It would
be great if I could follow you up there.

Hi all,
I am on stay-cation the week of August 7th-15th and can be available for a
night trip to Cherry Road or Antennas pretty much any night. Assuming we
get a break from the monsoons of course.
The new moon is on the 14th but any day after the 10th should be decent.
Monday the 10th moon rise is at 1:11 am (a bit early)
Tuesday the 11th moon rise at 2:41 am
Wednesday The 12th - Perseus shower in carefree
Thursday the 13th moon rise is at 3:30 am
Friday the 14th new moon
Saturday 15th moon set at 7:19 pm
So if we get lucky enough with the weather and someone else wants to go we
could easily put this together. Just let me know.
Best
Dewell
