Clear Sky Clock is showing clouds from 9:00p.m. until around 12:00a.m. clearing by 1:00a.m. To go to Lakeside though I would like to know that I am not going to be alone. If that's the case I'll head to the Pit. If no one responds by 5:00p.m. then I'll head to the Pit tonight and see how it goes. I will probably go to the Pit tomorrow night though it is a work night. Clear skies and I can observe til about 1:30a.m. and be home and unloaded by 2:30 and to work by 8:05a.m. only means a nap when I get home from work on Monday at 4:30p.m. I'm actually planning on either Tuesday or Wednesday night at the Pit also in case anyone wants to join me. -- Jay Eads
And for those not headed for the boonies remember that SPOC will be open tonight. If last night's turnout is any indication (20+ scopes and 200+ public) it could be a great night at SPOC. Y'all come! patrick On 25 Jun 2011, at 13:47, Jay Eads wrote:

What's seems good, Jay? SPOC? I would like to go to SPOC except that I need to diddle with my autofocus and try some astrophotography, and that might not go over well with the public who want to look through telescopes. But maybe they'd like to see what my computer screen is showing. I don't know.

Based on this satellite image and looking up in Idaho there are some cloud formations that are occurring in eastern Nevada from the heating of the day and these should fade off after sunset. The front is coming in late tonight (late morning tomorrow) so I really believe both SPOC and Lakeside will be fine. I also think Pit n Pole would be fine but that will be for probably Monday or Tuesday for me. On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 4:51 PM, Jay Eads <jayleads@gmail.com> wrote:

I would like to go to SPOC except that I need to diddle with my autofocus and try some astrophotography, and that might not go over well with the public who want to look through telescopes. But maybe they'd like to see what my computer screen is showing. I don't know. Thanks, Joe

Yes, the forecast models are beginning to make me change my mind.
.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER LEVEL <http://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=UPPER%20LEVEL> TROUGH <http://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=TROUGH> OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TODAY AND SUNDAY. A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL <http://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=UPPER%20LEVEL> DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN IT WILL SCRAPE THE NORTHERN REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT <http://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=FRONT> ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH <http://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=TROUGH> OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REACH EXTREME NORTHWEST UTAH LATE TONIGHT...AND SINK TO CENTRAL UTAH BY SUNDAY EVENING.
LIKE YESTERDAY...MODELS INDICATE SOME INSTABILITY <http://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=INSTABILITY>...THOUGH MOISTURE <http://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=MOISTURE> AGAIN VERY LIMITED. HIGH-RESOLUTION RAPID REFRESH MODEL SIMULATED REFLECTIVITY < http://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=REFLECTIVITY> INDICATES VERY LITTLE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ACROSS FORECAST AREA TODAY. PREVIOUS FORECAST INDICATED BEST POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL BE OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS OF FORECAST AREA...AND SEE NO REASON TO ADJUST.
Here is the forecasted clouds for the region by the NWS in Canada:
http://www.cleardarksky.com/f.php?p=3C1512SLAS2UT&xhair=2&Mn=meteorites
Click through and remember we are 6 hours behind the time listed i.e.e 03z is 9:00p.m. MDT here.
Man, what to do . . . it looks like the Pit will clear out but I like that Lakeside doesn't have any humidity. SPOC would be fun also. I'll wait to see if I get any replies.

If last night's turnout is any indication (20+ scopes and 200+ public) it could be a great night at SPOC.

I will probably go to the Pit tomorrow night though it is a work night. Clear skies and I can observe til about 1:30a.m. and be home and unloaded by 2:30 and to work by 8:05a.m. only means a nap when I get home from work on Monday at 4:30p.m. I'm actually planning on either Tuesday or Wednesday night at the Pit also in case anyone wants to join me.

The Clear Sky Clock is not looking good for SPOC tonight. The regular Forecast is predicting clear skies, but the CSC is showing clouds during Star Party Hours. Which is right? Hmmmm.

One of the weather folks from channel 4 was at the drop zone today. It's just down the road from SPOC so I asked about SPOC weather. He said he thinks we'll be fine. See you there. patrick Sent from my iPad On Jun 25, 2011, at 15:39, Robert Taylor <robtaylorslc@gmail.com> wrote:

-> I guess tonight is a no-go for me, had to get out of work late and im feeling exhausted, and its sort of late for a 2 hour drive (from provo) to an area I have never been to before and im sure I would get lost on the way there , I hope to go there some other time and with some time at hand to get ready, hope you guys have a good one.
