no backyard chances

It was about a year ago that I had a fun run in the backyard with the astronomy tent and my C8. Also, Rhonda joined me for the first time, under the stars. I had hoped to repeat this year. Kept looking for a decent contiguous sequence of clear weather days. Alas, there were only a couple of good nights in the week, nights when I didn't have homework or work the next day. Meh. Our busy weekend regime also had us out of town. But it was mostly the poor weather.
