Re: [Utah-astronomy] My new solar mount setup continued

Hi Erik Solar panel sun shade smart but way too much to deal with. You are right about wind and sun protection, the stand needs to be heavy and secure in a breeze but I try to always observe the sun w/ the direction of the wind flow. A friend of mine in L.A., Gary Palmer , that shoots some great solar images gave me that tip and I can see the difference in resolution when shooting across the wind stream. Also that time after morning light and before the winds pick up tend to be best for me from my house at 1600 ft. From the summit, it's good all the time when the trades are mild. Aloha Rob
