Next Prime Night - CANCELLED

UPDATE - Prime Night is CANCELLED due to cloudy forecast, but try to make it out Thursday or Friday nights at the sky should be reasonably clear.

Next prime night at Columbus dark site will be 26 April 2014. The forecast for Saturday is not looking too good, but let's hope it improves. I'll make an announcement on Thursday or Friday about the weather for prime night.

The weather for Friday night (25th) looks good at this point, and the moon on Saturday, 3 May, is still good with only 22% illumination and setting at 00:09.

Here are the ephemera for Satuday, 26 April:

Sunset 20:02
End of evening twilight 21:26
Begin of morning twilight 5:23
Moonrise 5:40
Moon illuminated 6%

I'll post more information and observing suggestions in the next few days.
