Conditions at OSP last night

by Bob Jardine


Glad you had good conditions at Willow Springs. It was also good here in the Oregon red dirt and sagebrush.

It was clear and dark -- not sure I can tell you how dark -- as dark as SSP and Calstar, typically, maybe a nudge darker, but not a lot. Seeing was very good -- I didn't try anything less than 1 arcsec, but I got a super-clean split at around 220x of a slightly-uneven 1.3" pair that often gives me trouble at 300x. It was surprisingly warm -- I didn't use all my layers.

More of this tonight!

Wishing great skies to all TACOs everywhere on this new moon weekend.
