Photo: Galaxy M33 was club-member Bob Stephan's photo target as an airplane flew between him and the galaxy. The bottom of the plane's horizontal stabilizer was illuminated by it's flashing light. This made "Astronomy Picture of the Day" on August 25, 2007!(http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070825.html)
Ultimately three of us (The Three Jamigos; Jim, Joplin, and Jud) descended on the flying field near Dacusville. My proposed obserivng list was agressive, but
