[Chaos-l] Skywatching canceled

[Michael Hrivnak]

Not me! I have actually been trying to sell some stuff!

I am actually on the way home right now from Almost Heaven two days  
early because the forecast is abysmal. First night was great but very  
humid. Second night I observed in tolerable conditions for about 30  
minutes, but then the clouds moved in. Forecast calls for solid clouds  
and 40% chance of rain next two nights, so I decided to pack up while  
my stuff was still dry.

It is funny how on clear nights, the dew will build up like crazy, but  
on a cloudy and foggy night like last night, everything stayed dry.  
Maybe because the clouds prevent temperature drop?

Lunch just arrived. Full report to come soon.
