[Jayme Hanzak]

The backyard has been cut and all is good. I'll see everyone tonight that shows up. 

Let me know if you need directions.

Hi all.  Jayme said: 






Well if the skies are clear, so is my back yard and ya'll are welcome to use the yaad. 

Despite what it looks like outside now, the forecast is good.  To quote the Wonderground: 





Tonight: Mostly clear. Patchy fog after midnight. Lows in the upper 60s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph.  

and the CSC predicts both clear and decently transparent from 8:00 on.  Can't beat that in August.  


So, i'll be visiting Jayme's house from shortly before sundown 'til at least midnight.  It hasn't got the best horizons, but it's about a half magnitude darker than (and about the same distance away as) Farrington, and a lot closer than Medoc.  If you haven't been to observe there before, tonight will be a good opportunity.  Come out and observe some sky! 


J.
