It will be at the Mt. Pisgah location. Usually we go to Mill Ridge only when the Parkway is closed in the winter. Yep, it's always best to check here to be...
Ok I will check on that. has anyone ever been to the "scenic overlook" on Highway 19/23 north, at or near the TN state line? I mean the one with the large...
David, I know the one you're talking about. I've thought about stopping, but I've always been in a hurry. Car lights don't ruin the view, even for naked-eye or...
I've gotten some aperture fever; so I'm upgrading to a 14" Meade at my observatory and selling my 10" Meade LX200GPS. DESCRIPTION: - 10" Meade LX200GPS f/10...
As I stand here at work watching the lightning and looking at the Clear Sky Clock prediction for clouds, I have to say I won't be at the Gaze tonight. ...
John, I drove south on parkway Thursday to the spot with 2 parking lots & concrete pad with picnic table. I forgot to look at the name of the site as it began...
depends on how you define "ruin". you have to remember that the place is meant to be a view of the earth (mountains and valley), not the sky so it does have a...
Has anyone got a good source for the orbital elements of asteroid "2004 xp14"? I've tried a couple of places and put them into Megstar, but the resultant orbit...

Dennis, I just now saw your post. Thanks. It confirms closely the maps I came up with. Your map shows it about 6 arc minutes north east of my track, and about...
I've put 3 maps in a "Files" folder called "asteroid 2004 xp14". It looks like a good place to ambush this asteroid is as it passes between Delta & Gamma...
