Yes I know roy and his telescopes are amazing. How was the weather in the evening. It looks like the low is around 52 now so i guess just a jacket should be ok.

I got a picture of Roy and so did Mojo (posted by Jane).

The weather was great for the two days I was there. The seeing was much better Friday than Thursday. I understand they were dodging clouds on Saturday.

The temperature swings are quite high from the 90's-100's on the high to the high 40's / low 50's at night. A person needs to be prepared for both hot and cold. As we all know, we don't generate much heat just standing around looking through a telescope. Observing is not an active sport. Body heat just tends to leave and leave you cold. There have been years when I've worn many more layers and a heavy coat. This year was a nice change from that.
