Went up to Wolf Creek Saturday night, and really lucked out. Transparency was excellent, seeing was OK, good for 200-300 power in the 18". Temp got down to 37 F. with very little wind. Observed until Orion came up and had some fun with Jupiter, too. Blue Snowball was a real treat. Best night under the stars all summer for me. -Van
