It was good. Better than the last time I was there when we had the clouds rolling in...
The milky way was up and visible... not blazing mind you, but visible.... I was very surprised. I think there was a huge opening just over coyote -- certainly the clouds looked very nasty as I was heading down there. (I expect wednesday night to be even better.)
Oh, btw when I left at about 1:30am, just after heading over the hill I realized I was under the coastal fog bank. However, the fog didnt make it over the hill to coyote. It ~may~ have been creeping in around 1:30 when we were leaving... there was some kinda cloudiness, but I thought it was higher. Here in paloalto its usual summertime fog-overcastness.
There were six of us there... nice small group... I ended up taking about 10 pictures... we'll see what develops....
I think we only had about six cars/headlights, with only maybe two or three of them making multiple passes B^) B^) yeah.... hmmm... I noticed that once the drivers realized they were blinding someone they usually just got out of there... the kids making a phone call were an exception... they stayed with the lights on while on the payphone. Funny thing is that while we were packing up around 1 or so, there was nooo traffic.
