I just shut things down at the observatory. It was windy, and cold, all the time, up here in Dewey. Not very comfortable, even in the shelter of an observatory. Luckily, the star I was working on was doing was high enough so that the drop down shutter that wasn't dropped down prevented the wind from shaking the telescope. Otherwise, I would have had to quit early in the evening.

Steve, the weather report does indicate wind from 5 to 10 mph, but did not indicate if it would taper off or quit.

See ya; Steve CoeI'm looking to make a two niter at Antenna's for Sunday and Monday. Seems the weather will be clear by then and we should have some great observing conditions. Any takers? I know Steve Coe is there, Beevo will be for Sunday and, hope others can join in. Again, any more takers? AJ Crayon Phoenix, AZ
