    Jeff Newland replied to the topic Observing tonight? in the forum General Discussion 3 years, 9 months ago

    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?
