Re: [Utah-astronomy] Surprising skies
Joe, Tuesday and Wednesday were just wonderful nights. No humidity, temps in the low 30's. On Tuesday, Mat, Jorge, Daniel and I were at the Pit. We started observing around 7:00pm and we concluded at 11:30pm. On Wednesday I went solo and was set up at 5:30pm, observing at 6:00pm and packed up at 11:00 and home before 12:00. I unloaded today after work. That is what I LOVE about this time of the year. If one dresses for the cold one can start earlier and get in a good four or five hours even on a work night. A week from tomorrow (IF long term forecasts can be believed) looks wonderful with a thin waxing crescent sinking around 8:15pm and I am going to head out to Vernon that night.
Jay, this guy has to get up at 4:00 AM to go to work. It would be my bedtime just about the time I got to the observing site! I can't risk injury on shop equipment because I'm drowsy from an abbreviated night's sleep. It's weekends and solar sessions only for me until retirement. Good night all!!

WOW! Sounds wonderful, Jay. Please keep me in the loop -- though I like Lakeside a lot. It's the humidity that gets me. Are the lights OK at Vernon?
