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...
The 10 day forecast is showing clear skies next week from Thursday to Sunday. This could be the break we have been looking for, still with just a sliver of a...
I'll follow Shawn to Highway 4 if this thing comes off tonight. If we wash out, I'd be interested in something later in the week-at a site TBD. Bret From:...
And official word, I am out. Too much 'iffiness' in the area, confirmed on the Clear Sky Chart. There are a couple of low pressure systems spinning off the...

Was originally looking to go up to the Heliport this weekend, but the last check of the CSC has changed my mind. After about 10pm on Saturday, the skies become...
It's too early to bail on the Heliport, IMO. The CSC for the area is Peddler Hill--15 miles distant and 2890 feet up. The CSC hasn't been a good oracle, IME,...
Maybe. I think Bret is heading up to the Heliport. From: stocktonastro@yahoogroups.com [mailto:stocktonastro@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of starxplror2005 Sent:...
Hi, I just recently joined SAS, was at the last 2 Hwy 4 star parties. I've been planning on going up to Telegraph Saturday if the weather looks OK, one of my...
We had pretty high winds last night in Manteca: patio furniture and pool toys everywhere. This morning's weather forecast is for winds throughout today,...
Hi All, I'm a new member and was at the Hwy 4 place last week. I will be there tonight and I'm bringing the family, so be warned! ha ha I am planning on...
Bret Ford and myself will be at HWY 4 tonight. Planing to be there about an hour before sundown. See everyone there! Shawn To: stocktonastro@yahoogroups.com ...
I'm not really liking the Stockton area forecast winds so far. http://windalert.com/wind/spot/1314 Gusts to the mid 20s tonight. I'm going to play it by ear....
Yeah if it's honkin at 4:30 to 5pm. We may bug out also. We will watch and hope for the best. ~Roland~ Sent from my iPhone ... Yeah if it's honkin at 4:30 to...
Hi All, CSC shows adequate observing conditions, but it's very different by simply walking outside. As of 3PM, there are high clouds and more coming in from...
Hi All, Weather is too marginal for me this evening. CSC update does not appear favorable either. I'm going to observing from home. Hope the weather changes a...
We're out here and setup. Nice so far. But big bank of clouds approaching. Winds are 0 to 5. But feels iffy. Hoping to get an hour of photographing. More...
The bad news is, we were all alone there. The good news is, my computer and screaming kids didn't bother anybody. It was pretty good for a short time. Had a...
After not having a scope for awhile sure was not good. Ordered a new Celestron C6R Go-To refractor and quite a few goodies. Should have it by the end of the...
Its a pretty good scope William. They have excellent optics for a doublet and are sharp out to the edges, even with the new crop of 100mm wide field eyepieces....
