Hi Bill,
Sounds like a great trip, I am assuming from this and your previous post you
were in Saline Valley? I've tried to observe there twice and always found
the wind to be an issue. Have you had much success observing there? I
certainly enjoy hanging and soaking there during the day, but I'd about
written it off as an observing spot.

I couldn't agree more, you can get to great dark skies and unusual daytime
beauty, and if you plan it right have it all to yourself!
Thanks,
Jeff
