SARA 0.9-m still not in service because of the Contreras fire on the mountain. Conditions tonight look cloudy. Asteroid light curve observations will be tried when the telescope and computers and other facilities are operational.

Telescope still out of commission due to the Contreras fire in June. Even if that weren't the case. the Kitt Peak Site Weather Information website reports: "Domes are CLOSED due to: high humidity, dripping domes, threatening clouds, ice on domes" It's nice to see that website up and running again!
