Yes, must have been the same old Florida guy. Could never find any of those notes, but I did find a A/C window unit in the woods nearby the USNO that worked! ...
Allan: Great idea, correlating "seeing" with winds at different altitudes. Based on comments by Dusty Mars it might also be useful to correlate "seeing" with...
Allan, During some of the PZT plate measurements I would occasionally put a star trail under high magnification and measure the average frequency of the...
It is true, I used diffraction pattern to do my study. I did this study for visual application and not CCD! There is a close corrolation with diffraction...

Cloudiness forecasts for my site have been 89% accurate for the past 9 months. I would like to suggest that others join with me in evaluating cloudiness...
... Excellent idea. Nothing like a little empirical data to hone the theories with. Even better: nothing like a huge amount of empirical data. Gary, I've been...
... Oops. I meant "Mr. Gary". That reminds me. As I mentioned. I've been quoting to people your previous accuracy summary of 83% accuracy in the first 15...

Nice report. Having observed at Mars Hill (24" Clark) and some at Anderson Mesa (72") back in the early 1980's my experiences have been less than desirable....
Allan: WHAT! Shut down the Clear Sky Clock ..... the most valuable and accurate resource for astronomical weather prediction ever developed. Give us the big...
