heading to -32

Supposed to be clear, again, tonight. A "clear sky alarm" came in for Fingal at 3:17 AM this morning...

Opportunities to observe at: (Clouds/Trans/Seeing)
01-27 @ Hour 21 for 3 hours (10%/Above Ave./Average)

But it was very cold on the walk home. Felt like the wind was out of the north-west. Gusting. That would shake the telescope. Always annoying when visually observing. And it would not be good if I was trying to photograph the M82 supernova with long subs.

The Clear Sky Chart looked fair. No clouds. Fairly good transparency. But poor seeing. Somewhat favourable for galaxies?

Checked Stellarium. For clearances. Oh! I forgot. The house is not due north...

Bode's fuzzies would be almost 60° up at 11 PM.

Opened my GTA weather portal. Yikes. Alerts everywhere. Mississauga, Toronto, Richmond Hill, Oshawa. Wind chill warnings. For Mississauga specifically, Environment Canada showed winds at 42 gusting to 52 km/h. Ambient temperature low prediction of -22°C. The current wind chill was -27 with a forecast low of -32! That was not encouraging! Even Stu called a no-go for the RASC observing session.

I'd really like to photograph this supernova...
