weather getting better. still
not good enough to get out and image. have done a little observing
between the haze and clouds. |
|
9-21 |
well, the skies still are
not clear. this summer was a bust as to getting time to observe.
have done a few nights of visual observing but have not had conditions
that would support good imaging. with fall approaching, we are
hopping for better seeing conditions that usually accompany colder weather
conditions. |

this summer and it's bad seeing conditions are coming
to an end. fall should bring cooler temperatures which should
bring better seeing conditions. while i did get out a few
nights to observe between clouds, i was not able to do any imaging
work. (i need the practice) i hope to get some imaging
in this month and would like to start collecting images for my lunar
100 project. |

the skies are getting better now that the temperature
is dropping. the new problem is wind and it has been here
nearly every day. (between 15 and 50mph) last weekend it blew
down trees and we had 29,000 homes without power for a day.
crazy weather here in central connecticut. we are
planning to get out this friday night, we hear the wind will be
calm. |

we are moving the observatory from kensington
connecticut to middletown connecticut. our new home is nearly
finished and with the 2 acre lot we will have room to build a
separate building for the telescope. this will eventually lead
to more time for observing. hope to be back in full capability
by may 2007. |
