Re: [APML] Dry Purge System and New Mexico Skies

["Walter Willis" <wwillis1@qwest.net>]

At the end of August it was HUMID, so much so that one of my nights was
fogged out.  The last night there I would look in the direction of my target
(clear), slew the scope, and take a centering shot.  Clouds would show up in
the amount of time it took.  Turns out we were watching clouds form above
us, not roll in.  Humidy 90% and temp of 60.

Now it should be quite dry, probably in the 10-20% range at night.
