Sorry everyone I will not be able to attend June 1 at CRO as my wife is in ICU. It seems it’s always something.
Cancer Sucks

I was so looking forward to seeing the place and getting to mow, also getting to see and use the telescope s.
Well I guess I won’t get to meet you. 
Hopefully we will get to see you at the meeting! Take care 
Weather permitting, I plan be there.
I am not going, for me the weather doesn’t look favorable for the evening.
I will try to get out to mow between now and the next members night.
Keeping my eye on it, next Friday looks fantastic so hopefully that pushes into next Saturday

i’m not going to cancel this, as the weather is marginal, not completely bad. However I will not be going out. Too busy more than the weather, in my case.
BUT! Any non-CRO members should ensure that a CRO Member will have the observatory open before they leave!
If you’re a CRO member and plan to go out today, please confirm on here that you will open it!!!
If I don’t see someone saying they will ensure it is open by about 4pm, I’m going to cancel it so non-members won’t waste a trip.
Just curious, The cloud cover looks mostly favorable on Astrospheric. Is it wind or seeing that folks are concerned with? I’m keeping an eye on it and will probably decide later on if I go or not.
Weather isn’t looking that great, so I think I’ll cancel my plans to attend.
I think clouds is the main issue. At best it looks like it’ll be partly cloudy, and slightly breezy.
In Astrospheric, I admit I’m always confused by the 4 different results for clouds. for example, this evening it says the chances of clouds are: 1%, 22%, 0% and 100%. These are 4 different model predictors. How can one be predicting 0% chance of clouds, and another predicting 100% chance of clouds? I think the main one, RDPS (the big bar on top), is the main one we should be looking at, but it still confuses me. I don’t know enough about meterology to understand them. All I want to know is if it should be cloudy or not, and having 4 different models telling me the exact opposite from each other, doesn’t help. Otherwise I love Astrospheric.
In this case, my other goto weather app, Weather Underground, is predicting partly cloudy all evening. (Which contradicts Astrospherics’ RDPS prediction of a 1% chance…).
I’m not seeing any CRO members saying they are going tonight, so I’m going to cancel this in a few minutes.

Astrospheric looks like it might be ok until about 2am. I just checked and the gate is closed. There are some clouds more than what I would call 3%. By 9pm it is supposed to be 0%. Will check later to see if anyone shows up.
I didn’t cancel tonight because of weather. I suspect it will turn out to be a good evening, but the ‘regulars’ that open CRO can’t make it tonight, and none of the other 50+ CRO Members have volunteered to open it. I don’t want any club members driving all the way out there just to find the gate and building locked.
I’m headed out to CRO. Thought I’d post here since the member night is cancelled and I’m a new member and not experienced hosting non CRO members. I should get there around 830 and plan on leaving before 1130.
Unfortunately my plans have also changed for the evening
Ben I moved your post over to this post so Members will know that the gates will be open. The only thing we need from a CRO Member is that the gate and building will be open. You don’t need to do anything with them. It also will bring more members out the more members say they are going.

CRO has been opened. There are 2 CRO members there now. Also the new code I sent out has not been changed yet it is still the last year code.
Wish I could be there! We were moving. Don’t worry though, I’m relaxing watching the skies with you guys from my patio!
There was about an hour of decent viewing last night and the clouds rolled in around 11
I will not be able to make it out to this one.

Thanks for the report! Glad you got at least a bit of viewing in. I checked here after I got home and it was mostly cloudy, then later, completely cloudy. Hopefully next week will be better!
