Yes, the forecasts are saying it will start to cloud up by 9:00, so looks like no Messier Marathon.
Bob, yes, that was the northern lights. They were pretty good. They mentioned it on the 10:00 news last night and all they today they have been showing photos that people took last night.

It looks like it just might be nice on Friday. Is Eagle Bluff available? Anyone interested in a Messier Marathon? There will be a bit of moon out there. It’ll probably hide some of the early western objects.

So what’s everyone think? Not as clear as I thought it was going to be.

If we don’t hear anything about Eagle Bluff, I’ll probably head to Keller. Unless some can turn the light off at Root River?

Jim, Saturday may be better. Looking at the Clear Sky Chart and hourly forecasts, they are showing Saturday as clearer than Friday.

Is Eagle Bluff available this weekend? Anyone thinking of going out observing? It looks like it may be the last good day until next year… maybe. Friday looks pretty good. Saturday may be starting to cloud up a bit more, but looks to be warmer.

Colin, it would be a great eyepiece, but it is not small. You may need to put some wait on the back to balance the scope.

Yeah, doesn’t look that good out there. I guess I’ll skip tonight as well. 🙁

I’ll be heading out to Root River tonight. Sunset is a little before 8:45. There will be an ISS pass around 10:35.

Things are sure looking good right now. If you’re going, I’ll probably go as well.

Is it going to be clear enough Friday night to go observe somewhere? Anyone else interested, perhaps Root River? Looks like it may be clear to start, but start clouding up.
We do have the outreach at Root River on Saturday night. We could have a practice round on Friday.

Hello all, Is it going to be clear Friday or Saturday night? Is Eagle Bluff available?
