Stu you need to get to ECSP. We haven't seen you in some time.

Stu,

I hope to meet you Saturday - or another Saturday! I've been in Olive Branch, MS, for the past week ... I'm driving back tonight. My point: I am a bit disconnected from the SE VA Weather pattern but a quick check shows the NWS is calling for a mostly clear sky & temps dropping below 30F. Brr. I'll have to christen the insulated bib overalls that I bought 3-weeks ago for West Virginia mountaintop observing.

One weather-related thing to add ... since the field is along the York River, it gets moist (especially summertime). I'm not sure what this weekend's dew point looks like, but it's a good idea to always be prepared to fight moisture.

I pre-ordered the Seestar on a whim - my wife 'ordered' me to do so :-) I haven't used it often, but it's arguably been the best $399 [value] I've ever spent in astronomy. I've pre-ordered the S30 from Astronomics to see what the "AI" processing can do. At some point, I suspect one of my Seestars will be a give-away to a friend or family member since I already have 8 telescopes (I think incl. the dedicated solar).

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on the board,
