Yes, it looks like it'll be decent. I'll be on the astrobalcony if the
predictions hold up. Last full moon I started an image of the moon from the
astrobalcony, but was only able to get the red channel completed. It was
taken with my FSQ, a 2" Televue 2x Powermate, and my Meade DSI Pro:

If the skies are clear next full moon I'll get a full color version.

Subject: [TAC] Huge hole in the clouds may be headed our way.

Have been watching visible clouds and a huge hole could indeed hit us by
9pm or so. This was not there earlier. Things change so fast. The
large hole to the south is also getting a lot larger but that we will
not get here.

I generally watch things develop then take a best guess before going
out. Was about to hang it up but now I think there is indeed some hope.
