Is anybody going to Cherry Grove tonight or tomorrow?

It looks poor to the south until early morning. I don't think tonight is a good idea.

Kris,
I am planning on driving down to Cherry Grove on Saturday night. The forecast looks fantastic for Saturday. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
The more the merrier!!!

I'll be there Saturday night. Cloudy there on Friday - not good for observing.

Great Nancy! I am looking forward to seeing you tonight. The weather forecast looks stunning for this evening. See you in a few hours!
Hoping for an observing field full of fellow members and guests!

I'll be heading down as well and probably be there around 11:30 or so. I'll try to keep my flashers on so I don't blast you guys.

Great night last night! I think I counted 7 private scopes on the observing field, and about a dozen people total. Clear skies, a little hazy around the edges as is typical at CG. Some major milestones were set - not me, I am still plugging away at the H400 list, but I did test a new-to-me star atlas (Deep Sky Hunter) which was good for starhops, and I tested some maintenance work on my scope - big improvement from what it was but still not getting the crisp focus I need to split tight double stars......the part of the problem I fixed was the positioning of my secondary mirror.

I hit a major milestone last night. I finally got my last three Messier objects. I'm totally stoked. I don't know if my records are good enough to get a pin, but I have met my wife's requirement to start shopping for an upgrade.

I have leveled up and unlocked resources. I sure hope there's a built-in save point to this game.
