I can appreciate  your photon deprivation syndrome-I've got it too. But
checking the digital weather forecast for the sites is not encouraging:

 

Five Mile Meadow-next 48 hours, 52% sky cover up to 100%, high chance of
rain, and during the night, the dry bulb and dew point will be
equal-translation, heavy, heavy dewing!  Also cool (36 deg to 63 deg).

 

Antennas-68F (night) to 100F (daytime); sky cover from 22% to 36%.

 

Sentinel-72F to 100F, sky cover from 21% to 38%.

 

The daytimes in the two desert sites will be brutal but survivable, but the
skies don't seem all that great to me.

 

I'm staying put in town at least until Monday afternoon. I'll check the 5MM
forecast again then, see if the picture improves any.

Seeing the sun today has me pondering the absurd.  Per the NWS, it appears
Cherry & 5MM will be experiencing on & off cloudy weather with rain chances
for the next few days.  However, the Hovatter Rd and Sentinel sites should
be clearing up.  The CSC seems to indicate that these are the two best
options.  That said, I'm thinking about heading out to the Antennas site,
possibly for tonight and tomorrow night.  Crazy?  Absolutely.  But at this
point, I need some photons.

Anyone else up for this?

Anyone have a better idea?
