I was crazy to go out and sit under the moist stars.
Coe was cool (40 degrees and dropping) and humidity was high (80% Rh and rising). Wind was light, calming for a while, and light when I left at 2:30. There was no temp inversion. The more altitude I gained the colder it got, with no drop in RH.
There was no access to the overflow lot: it was locked tight> I was forced to set up in the "Back 40", in camper parking spots. The hard paved location was nice compared to the overflow lot surface of packed gravel. There is only one LPNa light in sight and it wasn't objectionable, given the fact that a half moon was present.
The sky was average in stability, and reasonably transparent. I was able to log about a dozen Herschell 1 objects in CV, Vir and Draco. Describing each object was a fight. Savoring detail through a cool and film collecting corrector plate made observing considerably less than ideal.
High level scud began forming at 1:00, the streaks being seeded by quite a few E-W bound military aircraft. The temp had dropped to 36, and RH increased to 98%.
Even at 1:30, there were campers setting up tents. Now I know where all the nighttime hill climbers have gone to in the past.
I was packed at 2:30 and headed home.
The weather has to get better! When will that be, though?
