An inspiring post.  I was disappointed by clouds last night, tonight does
not look promising.  I observe mostly from my back
yard<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=%2B35%C2%B0+59%27+42.90%22,+-114%C2%B0+55%27+30.60%22&mrt=all&ie=UTF8&ll=35.996059,-114.924937&spn=0.002005,0.004828&t=h&z=18&iwloc=addr>and
have not been to a dark sky site recently.  My LX-200 is working well
again after recent repairs, it was blowing fuses.  I am resurrecting my two
6 inch reflectors now that it is cool again and hope to observe more.

Thanks,

Paul
