Hi David,
The Fiddletown site has the following co-ordinates according to my GPS unit
the last time I checked:
Latitude: 38 degrees 29 min 30 sec N
Longitude: 120 degrees 39 min 48 sec W
Elevation: 2934 feet.
Thanks again.

every twelve hours that predict both cloud cover and transparency for the

that predict hour by hour conditions for astronomical observing at
particular locations. I emailed Attilla Danko with relevant coordinates
for Fremont Peak, Dinosaur Point, Henry Coe State Park, and Montebello Open
Space Preserve. He has generated links for all four sites on his Clear Sky
Clocks page. To look up the prediction for any of our most commonly used
south bay sites see:
