Well, I was wrong last night's imaging was not destroyed by smoke from Cal it was from BC. Apparently jumped the border without stopping for Covid inspection. Testing on the Rokinon will have to wait for a few days for the westerly winds to blow it out of here. Hopefully then California stays in its place too.
At least its not a hurricane!

Re: Apology to California
My transparency has been utter crap these past few nights because I'm getting the smoke from both directions Cali and BC.

Re: Apology to California
We have a light haze in Southern Washington from some local fires. It's been moving in and out with the wind. I'm not sure if any of it is from Canada.
Hopefully things will be better this evening.

Re: Apology to California
The lava fire near Mt. Shasta is causing a lot of problems. No smoke in the air yet here but who knows how long that will last?
