Humidity in Arizona tonight is high enough that Rigel will not be available, and tomorrow night looks rained out.

Another cloudy night in Arizona shuts down Rigel tonight. However, tomorrow looks clearer.

Observatory out of order until Thursday

Due to unforeseen circumstances at the observatory, the roof is closed until Thursday at the earliest due to physical and programming overhauls. Unfortunately, this leaves Rigel out of commission until then.

Later part of night lost to humidity, early images scheduled

After 3 AM Arizona time the humidity mounts to dangerous levels for the telescope, meaning the observatory roof likely closes at three. The weather before hand seems clear enough for images, so early night images have been scheduled; we will have to see how they turn out.
