Dino Point, 1st Class Site

by James Turley


I'll chime in here.

Jon and I left Dino around midnight.

51F/84 percent RH. Wind from 190 degrees 6-8mph. Wind farm on Western ridge operation all evening. We listened to the sound of the PG&E meters running backwards.

No visible fog either at dino or up on the pass at Whiskey Flat, all night.

But...at Casa de Fruita...fog was beginning to form. Visibility 200 feet.

At 101/152 visibility 200 feet...and getting thicker.

Obs report later...fantastic night of Ancient Light. Best dark skies, ever, at Dino. IMHO.

Coma and Leo and Virgo...Perfect!
