Received this today...joe: Planet Walk Press conference with Rotary and Mayor Begich 10:30 am, Friday, August 5, at 5th and G Plaza (soon to be sun station) in...
... Mike, Kincaid Park......the old missle site behind the airport. I believe the spacing between planets is based upon the time it takes to walk to each...
Mike, I don't know how the planets will be sized. I'd be interesting to see. Have you seen the 5mm ep review on the AP site: Naglers, SPL, Pentax, Radian,...
... Yep I did see that. I have never used Pentax and didn't use the SPL enough to comment about it, but I do agree that the TMB's are superb and the Radians...
Here are the sizes (diameters) and locations of the planets: Mercury .49" 5th and H Venus 1.23" Captain Cook Hotel on 5th Earth 1.30" Capt Cook Parking...
Is it dark yet!? I've got blue skies here today, excited to see what an extra week of darkening looks like. If it gets dark tonight, you'll find me on my deck...
I received my binoculites today, they work as advertised. Construction quality is not too bad, the rack and pinion focusers for each eye are a bit sloppy, but ...

Wow...this will be coooool! Eli should be proud of such an impressive project based on an idea he had. Sound like the end result will be about $450K! Watch...
Night skies were gorgeous and dark last night. The viewing season is here. Get it while its good, the mosquitos are gone (here at least) and you dont need to...
Tonight is going to be great! Really dark, really clear, really warm. Even if the seeing sucks tonight (not sure) it will still be perfect for some low power ...
Hope someone else bit the bullet and setup, it was real nice out there tonight. Great seeing, very stable. I spent a couple hours on Albireo, (easily the most ...
Did it, Mike! Waiting up to follow the shuttle landing on the NASA channel and decided to take your advice and went outside. Opened the observatory and sat...
... How was seeing from there? It was great here. You've got a tremendous advantage there on me, I cant possibly see down that low due to spruce trees and...
Mike- Thanks for monitoring the sky brightness. I'd love to collect a bunch of data points to make a rule of thumb for estimating limiting magnitude as a...
... Hi Rich Well, the mag 11.5 was through my 32mm plossls with a 175 mm lens, so I dont know how useful it is, except for me to compare when I go out next...
I started a database for this and entered your data point. we can record the info, add a bunch of observations for NELM with SkyTools 2 as the "observer". I'll...
... Wow! Seeing is pretty nice this time of year. I've never had a telescope in August before, especially with a planet climbing the sky. Last night was great,...
You can get the jest of what it was doing last night: http://www.eagleriver.com/images/aurora1.jpg 25 second exposures at ISO400 with a 17mm lens, ultra-wide,...
Mike, Your results with your new scope sound awesome! Hopefully we can use it show people Mars at the ERNC in October. I am envious of your viewing time....
I saw 5 Perseids over the course of 2 hours, but I had my eyes glued to an eyepiece most of that time so it's a bit unfair. Naked eye limiting magnitude is...
Great report, Mike. I looked for Perseids between midnight and 12:30am but did not see any. They were predicting a peak in activity during this time. I ...
I was also out last night around 2:30. I saw a couple small meteorites but they were gone in a second or two. I did notice what looked like the milkyway...
... Absolutely, I could see the Milky Way from about a tiny bit North of zenith down to maybe 45 degrees south of zenith. It was particularly strong as it...
