Home from Coe.  Those who didn't come missed a classic blackout night. Dark and dry above the deep valley fog. You could take your pick if targets.

I was down at PinnWest last night.  Beautiful sky, like a late summer one, sugary star fields mimicking the Milky Way, SQM-L 21.50, dry, comfy temps.  Arriving in Soledad at 3:30pm was like being in Tampa. FL during a hurricane, high winds, got me worried about the ensuing evening.  All the high wind created a thick marine layer stretching all the way south to Paso Robles.  Total light dome blackout from PinnWest. My 180FL APO pulled in gx's like a medium Dob.  Great but short night.
