Last night it cleared up enough for me to spend a couple of hours refining my polar alignment. I have never drift aligned before so it was kind of fun to see how it worked. While it was fun it definitely wasn't exciting. :-)

I was also hoping to do a calibration of my SSP-3 but too many clouds rolled in. With the forecast of clouds/rain over the next 5-7 days it looks like the calibration and use of the SSP-4 will have to wait till 2006.

Last night was the first night I was able to spend a couple of hours in the observatory since the concrete was poured. It performed great and I can't wait to spend hours each evening counting photons for the AAVSO.
