Just to let others know. Tonight I had been planning on going with Mat to a star party he had plain up on the mountains. The doctor today put a kobash on that for me, but he said I could try going out for several hours and if I get tired, then to come home. So I know that tonight that myself, a friend I know Shahid is planning on going to the Pit, I think Jorge is also going to be there. If anyone else wants to join us feel free. I may have to bug out early though if I get too fatigued. If it works then tomorrow night I'll head there again since it is close to home and I need to be able to get home just in case (this antibiotic plays havoc with my system and I have some side effects indicating it could impact my heart or lungs so the doctor wants me close to home). But he cleared me for the Pit so I'm going to give it a try and then just rest again tomorrow as I am chomping to get out. Weather looks great and low humidity at the Pit until dawn when it will spike into the 70% range. No pancakes though, or eggs but decent dark skies and its close. Hope to see some people out there either tonight or tomorrow. Going to give my new Cats Eye Collimation set a try out. No matter what though, just get out this weekend as the weather and conditions look to be the best that we've had in several months. Oh yeah, I read online that La Nina is looking to stay around (haven't confirmed it with NOAA) and the winter could be like last winter. -- Jay Eads
