I'm planning on observing at Henry Coe on Saturday, Feb 7 assuming the current forecast holds.

The observers.org page says to email the ranger at jverh...@parks.ca.gov - can someone confirm that this email is still current?

Yep that's Ranger John's email. You can count on us keeping that list of observing sites updated and accurate. We work on it.

Hi Joshua, I’m a most likely yes for this Saturday. I’ll probably stay till moonrise/around midnight.

Great, David. I’m planning on bringing my newly collimated 25x100 binos. It will be fun to compare with your binotelescope.

Yes, I talked to a volunteer who said she would pass the message along (and noted that the gate is usually left dummy-locked for astronomers)

Sorry, I dont have a good dew prevention setup and the forecast seems to show that dew will be a problem for most of the night. Will join another night. Hope you all have a nice night out observing!

I'm still going to join. I'm hopeful for the forecast (with a strong acknowledgement of uncertainty) and especially hopeful about dew since the Coe lot has historically been bone dry even when the forecast shows 100% humidity.

See ya'll there soon. ETA will be around 5:45

Glad that you all had a nice night! 

This is the 2nd time in my experience where the dew forecast for Coe has been misleading. Ill take my chances from next time onwards..

A few Wx sources were basically wrong about the dew at Coe and FP last night.  Only Windy.com and the NWS were correct with Windy the most accurate. I use Windy most often. Astrospheric totally wrong. FP and Coe are micro-climates and have elevation to their benefit staying above the lower level moist air where the Wx source get their info for forecasts. I hemmed and hawed all day about going to FP because of the negative forecasts. Went anyway, really wanted to complete my 125 object open cluster list -- the A.L. Open Cluster list. I set up on a FPOA pad and watched bands of clouds continually pass overhead as late as 8pm.  I was worried about being skunked. But by 8:30pm, the last band of clouds passed by and to the east revealing totally clear skies overhead for me to start observing in Monoceros and Puppis. I did see Canopus culminating a couple of degrees culminating above the S. horizon, it was so clear. The RH stayed below 65%, nice and dry, no wind and 52°F comfortable all night. Seeing was very good, ~1.0 arc-sec. Really glad I went!  You Don't Know Unless You Go!

Peter Natscher, old friend, honestly ...
"You Don't Know Unless You Go!"

How many times have you bailed on account of a forecast! You're the guy with a little shrine to the jet stream in your house.
Will report from the Peak tonight. Glad you had a super night.

Thanks for organizing!  (I was set up next to my high school pal Sean and his 25 inch dob)
