My thinking is that the weather is going to be too unstable for tonight.
But tomorrow night is looking much better.

Despite  the 22%-36% forecast is anyone mad enough to head for Antenna? 
Chris are you persevering out there???

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?
