Observing Fri. 20th Jan. is OFF
20 01 2012Yet again, the forecasts are for increasing cloud tonight.
So observing for tonight (Friday 20th January) is OFF.
We still have another chance next Friday (27th) when there will be a 4 day old crescent moon.

Observing Fri. 20th Jan. – decision at 5pm
20 01 2012The forecasts for tonight are conflicting – some say mostly clear and some say cloudy.
I will wait to make a decision until about 5pm, which is 3 hours before sunset.
