04-05-06 - What's it like for you tonight?
Anyone havin' fun out under the stars tonight? It's lovely up here. 15 deg, dead calm, just the smallest bit of wood smoke in the air, 45 min til meridian transit and the seeing is
well you can't win them all.
It is getting better though. At a rough guess I'd say it's gone from a 2 or 3 up to a 5 maybe 6ish in the last hour, so maybe I'll get lucky in the next 45 min.
What's it looking like where you are?

Anyone know where the comet is tonight. If I'm up I might as well make the most of it.

Honestly, treating comets as afterthoughts.
It's behind the 8/8 cloud here.

Wow Dennis, you've done it again!
Can't wait to see the final results.. I had good luck down here last night too, about to post something in general chat.
