Pretty much no wind here. But I'm guessing it must be blowing up high. Hopefully it will calm down soon. Would be a shame to loose such a clear night. patrick On 01 Dec 2011, at 21:35, Joe Bauman wrote:

Anyone else trying to do any observing tonight?

The seeing here at Stansbury is awful.  The stars on my images look like the stars on The Biggest Loser.

I'm wondering what seeing scale you use.  I can't recall "sucky" on the ones I'm familiar with. And surely you're not talking about Jillian Michaels.  The contestants are hardly the "stars", lol.  My astronomical comparison would be "gas giants". _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php
