CGO this weekend

Post by jjones7777 »

Doesn't look great either night - lots of high cirrus clouds. Anyone planning on going down?

Enhanced IR doesn't make it look too good. I think I doomed us last night by even suggesting it might be clear. Looks like we are probably staying home. Maybe next week.

Clayton, Helen and I were at the Goodsell Observatory in nearby Northfield last night for the open house, and the sky conditions were mediocre although you could see some brighter objects.
