Bummed out......too cold.

I was looking forward to stargazing tonight. It's the first night in quite a while that's actually clear. It fact, from my quick look outside, I'd say it's the best since the purchase of our Orion XT8. Too bad it's 21° F with a wind chill of 10° F! :C

Murphy's Law rules again.

Hello:
I'm very sorry to hear that. It's snowing quite a lot about 30 miles from here, so they're not able to do much tonight, but the forecast says it's supposed to clear for this weekend. I do hope so, since I haven't been out with my scope since Novemnber.

Cheers

Thats not just Murphy's law, thats the first law of new telescopes.

The only good nights I've had free lately have been <10F, *not* counting windchill. 21F sounds positively balmy to me.

Life's rough. Get a Carhart.

There's a post from Jim Eggers in the Film Astrophoto forum of a photo he took in Palmer, AK in -20 F. Now THAT's cold.
