Checking my observing log I see that last night was the first full night in this area with no clouds or inversion since 6 January. I had my observatory open until 5:30 this morning. Felt good to be at it again (despite the full Moon). Looks good for tonight, too. Patrick Joe Bauman wrote:
I agree. Maybe storms flush the pollution out of the air.
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. -- Joew
