Default I Don't Belive it!

About 20 mins ago I went outside just to get some fresh air. What do I find?
A Clear, Cold, Almost Windless sky overhead. Now why couldn't have been that
way at 6:30pm instead of the galeforce winds blowing as there where?

This is why grab and go apos and other small scopes like the ETX became
such hot
items in the last few years.

....or backyard observatories. I have a friend with a small roll-off roof
shed and he can be observing in about 3 minutes, or set up for CCD in a
little longer, and he can close up just as fast. He has a Losmandy G-11 in
the shed and two Newt tubes: a 10-in F/4.5 and a 6-in F/4. He also has an
8-in F/7 Dob that he can carry out as a unit for planetary observing. He has
a TV, stereo, and a bar in the same shed for those nights when it clouds up
but looks like it will clear late!
