Great weekend for astronomy

by Rashad Al-Mansour


The Plettstone weekend was very nice. We had excellent conditions on Wed. night. However, Thru. and Friday nights were mediocre because of high thin clouds. Saturday night was spectacular.

I logged 123 objects over the four nights I observed. The weather was HOT but we stayed cool in the air-conditioned house during the day. Each day by 9:00 am, temps were 100+ degrees with the highest temp around 114 on Friday afternoon.

I'm still trying to put together a report, but my work load at the job is pretty high so it may be a while.
