I guess one of the benefits of 30 years in New England is that last night wasn't cold at all. Not even glove weather. Got first light on my new (well, old really) Dob. The post-storm skies were very similar to situations in the East. Transparency was good but seeing was mediocre. It appeared that high winds aloft were causing too much turbulence. Still, a couple of ours with a scope are hours well spent. Michael
I too was awestruck by the sky after the storm. Last night I stood outside the house loving every second. If it hadn't been so cold I would have dragged out my telescope. Venus and Jupiter were especially gorgous, and for once the full moon just seemed a nice addition. It was lovely to see the moon so close to Jupiter. -- Joe
