It’s a tense night here at the Amsterdam/EHT “Pajama Central Command” outpost! All sites have remarkably good weather except SMT (marginal but not terrible) and LMT (worse than marginal but potentially variable). The team decided to do a provisional “GO”, but are reconvening at 1:00am Europe time to see what things look like then. Given the Chandra and NuSTAR coverage I am really hoping the LMT weather improves. It’s a bit like watching a toaster, I keep checking the site opacity monitor and it’s very variable, but higher than the sustained 0.5 we want…
