I can only add that this was a great night for this newbie. Really thrilled with what I could see in my scope and in Greg's and Joel's. Might also add that...
Oh yeah! I forgot to mention the magnificent -8 iridium flare! Heavens Above had the flare center 2 km west so we were about dead center of the flare. It was...
I had a great time observing last night and scope comparison was great. Each scope excelled in its class because of great visibility. Id love to see M 54, 69,...
Greg, Joel, George: Wow, you guys did a lot of observing before moon rise! Thanks for describing it. I wish I could have been there, but was on vacation near...
Hi, I'm new to the group.Where can I find a list of outings/events? Looks like August will be a good month. The # for Tim was disconnected. Thanks, Lorraine...

Sounds like there may actually be some participation this time. Sorry I'm gonna have to miss it. I have to leave for Atlanta tonight and won't be back until...
Sorry you can't make it, Greg. It looks like we'll have more clear skies than the 2 hours you bagged at the gaze last month. Also, CSC (Clear Sky Clock)...
The last two nights have appeared (naked eye) extremely clear and steady around 10:00-ish. I've been thinking that if that trend continues it would be a great...
Somewhat of a disappointment last night - got up about 2:30 am to view and image it. Soon as I walked outside saw a nice shooting star, thinking it's going to...
August 10th Gaze: We all enjoyed the Mag -3 iridium flare early in the evening, then caught the Hubble fly-over later in the evening. Bernie provuded exact...

John , I collimated my scope at the last star gaze. I used a Arcturus. It took about 1 min! Great recap of the gaze! Thanks Butch for finding M70, 69 and 54. ...
Joel, I tried to collimate my 8" SCT last night, using my shortest FL EP (5mm, giving 400x), but the sky was too jumpy. I couldn't make out the Airy disk. At...
