ISP (Impromptu Star Party) at CGO 6/6

If CSC is correct, tonight might be okay. I'm thinking on a trip to Cherry Grove Observatory, if I get out of work early enough and if the forecast doesn't take a turn for the worse.

Unless others join, I will likely use one of the on-site dobs and not open the observatory,

Let me know if you might be in. I'll post later in the day if I will NOT be attending.

Great idea! If there's only one or two, you can set up between the shed and the warming house and get all the benefits of light shields without having any extra set-up of tarps. This does block your horizons a bit to East and West.

CSC looks to have taken a turn for the worse, so I am not going to CGO this evening.
