Stability at my primary site (Littleton, Colorado)
is normally very poor in the Winter due to upper level jet stream
winds flowing over the Rockies, the foothills of which are only 4 miles
to the West. Consequently, the best images are usually at remote
sites, like the Denver Astronomical Society's
EG Kline Dark Site
near Deer Trail, Colorado.
