Absolutely! I've done almost no astrophotography this year. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Tyler Allred <tyler@allred-astro.com> To: 'Utah Astronomy' <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 10:58 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Dry Patrick, It really has been unusual. It has been a great year for clear, dewless nights, but the smoke has been terrible for astrophotography. It has really been tough to see a clear sky filled with smoke every night. We need snow in Idaho to put out those fires!

I don't remember having made it through any other spring and summer before without dew. It really has been dry this year. So what are my chances of making through this coming winter with no frost?
