Will do! It is interesting to note that while you were getting good seeing, I was experiencing bad seeing (2-4/10). I guess that's what I get for retiring in the "land of windmills." Looking at my observing log, my first year up here in the mountains (7 years ago) had many nights of good seeing. Then the drought hit and the seeing has been mostly bad since. Looking forward to a return to normalcy and the advantage of living at 4000ft.

Keith,
Looking forward to your reply on the performance of your scope, post recoat. 
I checked the clear sky clock for your locale on Sunday evening, 6-3, and it doesn't look too good with winds in the area.
I'm drooling over the clear sky clock prediction for Sunday evening, 6-3, at Mt Pinos with excellent seeing and transparency in the forecast with no wind. The latter is only an hour north from me but I've got a heavy day at work on Monday so it'll have to wait. Nevertheless, I'm still delighted over my observing session in front of my own home last night and I'm within the 10 mile observing radius of the clear sky clock prediction for Templin Highway so I'll keep an eye on that one.
Clear, dark and steady skies...
