I'm going to pass on tonight. I can't make Sunday, due to work. Maybe we'll
have better luck next month.
Good luck to anyone who's going to try either tonight or tomorrow.

So what do we think about tonight? I see on Accuweater in will be partly
cloudy most of the evening. Does anyone have a better weather site than
accuweather?
I am 50/50 on tonight. If others want to give it a shot Ill go too. If
nothing else it might be a good recon trip for Cherry Road and future star
parties. I have never been there.
I think anyone who can go tomorrow really should consider it the weather
looks way better tomorrow night. If I didn't have to work Monday I would
totally go Sunday.

Right now, most of the forecasts show clouded out for Saturday night. Some
show clearing at around 8pm and others show clearing after midnight.

The Dewey-Humboldt show the same...cloudy at 9:00, clear at Midnight,
cloudy at 1:00, clear at 2:00
I'm willing to give it a try if the group is, maybe we should assess
tomorrow morning?

Which weather station do you use for Cherry road?
I looked at Dewey Arizona,Cherry Arizona, and Cottonwood Arizona as
sources
but I'm not sure which is the most localized.
When I looked earlier this morning, it showedcrain in the afternoon then
clear in the night. Now it shows 50% cloud cover all night.
Last night was clear. Why does this happen to us?!

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

Let's not give up on Saturday night just yet. A couple of the

It looks like Terry can't make it on Friday, so Saturday might be a

either
Friday or Saturday, we should be able to do something.

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

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
