Terri, NOAA indicated 16 mph winds with gusts to 24 mph until 8 pm, then only 13 mph winds. It may be possible to set up just south of the school buildings since the winds are to be out of the north. That may give us somewhat of a wind break. The main objects we will be looking at are the moon, jupiter, venus and orion nebula, so a blocked Northern view won't hurt. We will have problems polar aligning, but with 500 people, we will probably only have one object per scope and they will be easy to find. If you decide to go ahead, we need to make sure all our scopes that rsvp'd will show. I don't want another year like last year when Frank and I were the only scopes with 500 people, it was very stressful. I am willing to try it tonight, but everyone needs to commit. If there is swirling dust, we just won't unload the cars. Anyway, let everyone know if it is cancelled or not.
