Does anyone have any suggestions for cold weather observation
techniques?


Some might consider Rebel Yell an excellent personal antifreeze.

Not that we need much in the way of antifreeze out here in the low desert
of Arizona, but I HAVE been looking for Rebel Yell. It seems to be a
virtual whiskey for those of us out here. Can't find any in any stores...
I can find it on the Web, however.

Interesting, I was reading some e-pinions on the Web for Rebel Yell in
order to see how hard I should be looking. I think the consensus was
something like that it might be a good paint thinner...

Perhaps the truth is somewhere in between... And being a curious person,
where this sort of thing is concerned...

I will persevere in my search...

Does anyone have any suggestions for cold weather observation techniques?

In general, about anything one might wear for ice fishing. Wind resistant head
gear, layers of clothing top and bottom, and insulated soled boots. The advice
about a warm head (keeps feet and fingers warm) is true in my experience.
Consider a hood.
There are various ultra thin glove liners available at army surplus stores.
These can work well with ep's, focuser, notes and atlases. Better than bare
hands at the scope, but not as warm as heavy mittens obviously.

To be clear, that is to say that this would be NO laughing matter...
