Weather Report for January 29, 2015


Campaign 68 finishes with an expected, but still difficult night of clouds. Heavy cirrus moving in from the southwest (associated with the next big storm approaching Arizona) combined with a bright moon to thwart several attempts to observe during the first three quarters of the night. Only a couple of objects could be observed during the early portion of the night in seeing of 1.5-2 arcsec. The setting of the moon more or less coincided with a thinning of the cloud cover and several more blazars were observed before morning twilight.

Fermi/Steward Observatory observing campaigns 69-71 will be on Mt. Bigelow, AZ, at the Kuiper Telescope.
