Just a heads-up to SPOC users; someone has placed a padlock on the gate as Erik and I discovered last night. I have already emailed Bruce about it.
I have not been to SPOC in a couple of days but I'm told by a guy with the service agency that the lock has the same combination as the one that was on the previous gate.
Skies were very bright last night and the seeing soft, probably due to all the smoke in the air from distant wildfires.
There was even some smoke clear down in Kanab yesterday. Flying north after my visit with Cindy and Jerry it just got worse and worse. By the time I got to the south end of Utah lake I could only barely make out the profile of point of the mountain. However, I got 450 images of my current target star last night and they all seem to be ok. patrick p.s. Chuck, you might want to know that should your car/telescope event ever happen, Cindy has a killer new Z car parked in her garage...
