Yes Dark Sky Ranger Chad Moore confirmed my limiting magnitude calculation. Thursday night LM 7.3, Friday LM 7.0 to 7.1. Just spectacular at Bryce Canyon. Seeing was excellent both nights too!
Stats: 600 guests Friday night, 43 telescopes. This time there were 18 dobs (11 on Thrurs night), 3 18-inchers including my own, and one big 22-incher. Jeff Goins 24-incher was here Thurs, next to us, but he left Friday. I only saw 3 of the 4 Tec refractors Friday night. The 4 of them looked like a white tree forest on Thursday.
Temps just a little warmer Friday night (or rather less cold at midnight - 48 degrees.
Pictures uploading, will share them soon. Jane
