For those of you trying to observe from northern Florida, I offer my humblest apologies for all the cloud.

I migrated south to spend 2 weeks observing with a 30" scope at the Rosemary Hill observatory. Obviously this is as bad as purchasing a new scope!!!! So far I have had only one clear night!!! Now it is raining!!!!!! You know things are bad when you spend your time reading 10 year old Astronomy magazienes!

Come to sunny Florida...........!!!!! I definately missed my calling. I sould be hiring myself out to farmers as a drought-breaker! Oh well..... at least it is somewhat warmer than Minnesota!

SO, you're the one that brought all this rain over here, huh?? LOL!!!
Oh, well..... two weeks... that's the rule... now, where did I put my Astronomy magazines?
I guess I can go back into my garage & clean up while waiting...., or maybe hang all the christmas decorations.... and the lights outside the house... and...


Clear skies!

Oh, thank you so much for this! ;-) You know, Thanksgiving weekend was gorgeous...of course, since I had no time at all to observe! Hey, hope you you had a pleasant visit just the same.

BTW, where is the Rosemary Hill Observatory?

Hey Maurice, could be worse. You could still be down in OZ and contending with all the smoke around Sydney...

Just like we here in Denver did this summer with the Hayman fire (but H2O vapor is sure a LOT easier to breath!).
