Hello to you all. I wanted to say hello to you all and introduce myself as an active amateur astronomer in the Sacramento / Elk Grove Area and a new member to...

Welcome aboard Ralph. Sounds like you are into so many things that you'll get along with everybody. Looking forward to meeting you at Hwy4, the Heliport and...
My friend that told me about the telegraph road site is named Chris. He has an FSQ and likes to do imaging. I just recently met him, and hes come out to the...
I think I know who you're talking about. He's a recent new member of SAS, if I'm thinking of the right guy. Anyhow, he's the only one I know with a Takahashi....
The weather out there on Saturday is showing mostly cloudy, at this time for saturday night. Would anyone be planning to go out on friday night instead? Its...
Hey Jeff-- Peddler Hill is _open_. I drove up there today, and it is almost clear of snow. There is one small melting ice patch on several feet of road, and...
Twas a good night for chatting with fellow observers and looking through the holes in the clouds. Worth the drive if nothing else to get of the house for a...
Ditto for me. It was nice seeing Fred & Julie among us once again. At least the clouds kept it from getting as cold as I thought it would be. Carlos...

Hi guys n gals; I know it's crappy out right now, but the Clear sky Chart [for what it's worth] is showing that by 4PM Saturday, it's supposed to be better. We...
Astro-persons of the Higher Altitude, I'm gonna pass on this one; just a bit to far for 'iffy' conditions. Probably going to continue on improvements to the 6...
Greetings Everyone, Pam and I are planning on driving up to the Highway/4 party this weekend (2/18/12). Hopefully, it won't be too cold (a short visit) or too...
I'm inclined for the Heliport, if the skies are clear there. If it's cloudy up there, partly cloudy at Hwy 4 would be alright. "Mostly cloudy" is a definite...
Good Morning All, Forecast and the Clear Sky Clock does not appear promising for Saturday evening. If the weather holds, I will plan to look through the...
Hello everyone, If I make it I will be going up to the hwy4 site for this round. Weather looks iffy, but I will play it by ear. Getting the jeep welded back...
