Eric,
do you have any input on Wickenburg and the blowing winds? I know it will
be a minimum of 12mph
and we will be even dustier than BMC.
But the seeing, if it is going to be that bad due to all the dust in the
air, and
with Mike sick, it would be better to cancel Wickenburg as well.
I'm in touch with my contact in Wickenburg this morning
and i'll talk to Jenny and Loretta about tonight.
Everyone hold for a moment while i talk to those hosting the events
to make sure they understand the "Seeing" situation
and then i will post the cancel notice, if that is the case.
Everyone who has that nasty Bronchitis, please get well soon.
Terri, Event Manager
Our Dr didn't put us on antibiotics. She just let the cold run it's course.
We were on some super strong coughing pills, and musinex.

Sorry to hear that, Sam. Definitely rest up.
Additionally, both ClearSky and Astrosheric are showing seeing as 1/5
which means that stars will look like big fuzballs and Jupiter will just be
a wavering blob….
I would say cancel.

*Subject:* [pasmembers] PAS Weather at BMC tomight and other star parties
8 different weather forecasts average 20 mph winds for tonight. Some
blowing dust. No cloud or rain problems. I would not recommend hurting
your scopes mirrors and lenses. The winds may calm down enough by 9 pm,
but hardly worth the long drive for a possible 30 min star party.
I have bronchitis and am on antibiotics so I willl not risk going out
there infecting people or perhaps getting pneumonia. Terri and Loretta
should make the call.
Next few days. No cloud or rain problems for Friday and Saturday night
star parties. Winds 12 mph Wickenburg, 13 mph North Phx, 5 mph Tonto
National Monument. I didn't check Mesa since we have no scope volunteers.
I would appreciate it if someone else can update their weather for the
next few days. I am trying to rest as much as I can. Thanks, Sam
