SLOOH of failures

#1

Post by pakarinen »


12 out of 15 of my last SLOOH "missions" have failed, presumably due to weather. I guess the Midwest isn't the only place with bad weather this time of year. :Boo:

The Slooh Canary Islands observatory has been shut down by weather for the last couple weeks, Chile is open but the scheduling is tight as everyone is trying to use two scopes.

I have been scheduling 1-2 days out so I can get what I want
