It's clear and there are a lot of small prominences as this is written. But due to the breezy conditions, the seeing is soft. Surface detail is muted and not the best. Solar viewing is usually best before about 10 AM. After that, ground heating often degrades the seeing. On Mar 9, 2013 3:38 PM, "Joe Bauman" <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:
Hi Ann, I am personally sorry that we had to call it off; I instigated that after watching the weather carefully for days. I checked weather reports and all said this afternoon wasn't going to be good. I polled the other board members and we agreed it wasn't worth holding because of the likelihood that it would not be held. I sent notes explaining this to the entire SLAS membership. So it's mostly my fault and I am sorry. The weather fooled everybody. -- Joe
