I agree with Jeff. Wednesday or Thursday will be great for local observing only.
If the forecasts change, I'll check Eagle Bluff for Fri/Sat.
September 25, 2013 at 12:46 pm #11628that sounds fine. I will check back here to see what the concensus is tommorrow…
September 27, 2013 at 12:55 pm #11629So the weather forecast isn't too promising for tonight, with quite a bit of wind, and clouding up before midnight.
Saturday night could be good, depending on the timing of the clear off of clouds, with lower dewpoints/winds forecast.
Any possiblity of using the parking lot at EB on that night?September 27, 2013 at 1:44 pm #11630Eagle Bluff will have a wedding on Sat. night. No chance of a dark parking lot.
Tonight we could have the parking lot lights off, but not the trail lights. Dawn says there will be people there decorating for the wedding.
At any rate, I can't make either night this weekend. Good luck and clear skies to all who observe.
September 27, 2013 at 3:48 pm #11631I think I'll try Keller tonight if it's not too cloudy.
September 27, 2013 at 4:24 pm #11632If the clouds hold off, we're planning on Keller, but won't stay too late.
September 27, 2013 at 8:24 pm #11633Based on the weather, and a social engagement, I have elected to put all my "stellar eggs" in the Saturday night basket at Kellor.
I hope you guys get enough gaps in the clouds/wind tonight to see some decent stuff
Post in the morning on your luck!September 27, 2013 at 9:47 pm #11634Things clearing up a bit. Methinks we may be at Keller tonight for awhile as well.
September 28, 2013 at 12:14 am #11635We're going to head out to Keller for awhile, see if it clears up.
September 28, 2013 at 5:21 pm #11636How was Keller last night?
Anyone interested in going tonight? I'm 67% certain the conditions will be favorable ::)September 28, 2013 at 5:41 pm #11637It was nice out there last night Bernie. Sorry you couldn't make it. It didn't look too good to start. Some openings in the clouds, Arcturus, Vega, Altair. Waited awhile and started clearing. It got to be clear in the south and southwest. Chris, Julie, and Joe showed up about 8:45 and the skies continued to clear and pretty much cleared out between 9 and 10. Somewhere along the way, Brendan showed up. He has come to the last few club meetings and saw that some of us where out at Keller and decided to come out and have a look. He doesn't have a scope and was looking through ours and asking questions. All in all a pretty good night. We all turned in early and that was a good idea as the clouds started to come back in after 10:30 and it was getting mostly cloudy again when we packed up a little after 11.
September 28, 2013 at 8:10 pm #11638Oh, forgot earlier, if it clears out early enough I would be interested in Keller again tonight.
September 28, 2013 at 8:14 pm #11639I will be heading out about 7:30 to setup; hoping to give my barn door tracker another try photographing M31.
September 29, 2013 at 12:17 am #11640Good call Bernie, looks gorgeous out there. See you there!
September 29, 2013 at 12:32 am #11641Last night was fun – sky looks better tonight… See you out there soon…
