Coyote Lake - Sat, Apr 9th '05

by Rich Neuschaefer


A brief OR. Seven of us were at Coyote Lake last Saturday (9th) night.

Near sunset there were a few small clouds. The transparency didn't look very good. When it got reasonable dark a few us looked at Saturn. The seeing was a soft but good enough to see the Cassini division. Maybe an hour later we looked at Jupiter. It was lower and soft. It would "pulse" grow larger and smaller. I could see the GRS. One of the moons went behind Jupiter.

We left about 2am. By that time the sky was quite good. We had dew but it wasn't too bad.

How was the wind at Coe? It wasn't bad at Coyote.
