If you can see the moon at 8am(directy south) to 9am on Thursday morning you might be able to see Antares close by. It does not appear as if though Antares...
If you're not already familiar with it, there's an interesting, and free ... my favorite price range ... amateur astronomy eZine named "Photon." It's set up as...
Thanks Joe. This is something I'm excited about. Pellessier Prize 2004/1 was essentially a race. This one is intended to define our southern limits. I have my...
I just found out about Photon about a week ago and was very impressed. Most free e-zines on the Internet are worth just about what you pay for them. This one...
I stopped by AHoH yesterday and was surprised to find out that they are now an Orion dealer as well as a Celestron dealer. Jim, the owner, said he was...
Richard, As you look to the south for Antares, another astronomy tid bit I tried years ago. With the moon a few degrees off the path of the ecliptic, it is...
Wow! Steve M's observatory makes my bargain-basement version pale by comparison. Quite a structure! I'm almost embarassed to think of putting out the photos...
While Kitt Peak is certainly awesome I agree with Chris...... your "Bargain-Basement" observatory lends itself nicely to a wide majority of users and...
John Jaruzel seems determined to plumb the depths of my silver dollar collection. In light of the lunar theme of this competition, the prize will be whichever...

Excellent seeing (why always combined with bitter cold ... temp 0). From 11:30 to 11:50, a most peculiar aurora. Just a generalized glow in the North quadrant...
... Strangest aurora I've seen was about two years ago when large sections of sky were flickering on and off quite fast, several times per second. The sky ...
Did anyone see Antares? As I was driving in from Girdwood I saw the moon several times between 7 am and almost 8am. Along Turnagain Arm the best bet appeared...
I had some pretty good views of the moon and the horizon as I drove into work this morning. My views of the moon were between 8:06 am and 8:24 am. I couldn't...
I had a freshly printed star chart, binoculars, and a fair amount of light reflection from a 3rd downtown office building window. There was a fog bank in...
Although I had a clear view of the moon from 8 to 9 AM I had no luck with Antares. Someone in an earlier post used the term extinction.....does this refer to...

It should be a glorious, cold night at the ERNC tonight. Hope many of you can make it with your telescopes in tow! Anyone needing a ride should let me know...
