ISP CGO tonight?

Post by Dave Venne »

The forecasts for Friday and Saturday nights have gotten very pessimistic, so I'm going to be be there tonight imaging--if it clears off. It might be the best night of this new moon!

The weather forecast for the next week is not looking good so I'm going to give it a try tonight.

How did it go last night? I see Jerry called off the 4M for tonight, as Friday night (9/30/16 for the archives...) is looking to cloud up about sunset, but Saturday night is looking good at this point. I saw the same when going to my favorite set of sites (cleardarksky.com and weather.unisys.com), so I'm expecting to be there Saturday night instead.

Very nice, clear, warm, and no mosquitoes last night. Field is in good shape. They started taking out the beans in the field North of CGO just before dusk. Lots of dust and noise but they quit early. Can't make it Saturday, hope you all have clear skies.
