We're just hoping for some good weather for a change. We've been rained and clouded out for so long, I've forgotten what it's like to have a real star party. ...

Good luck, wish we can come but it's our anniversary. Last night would have been great, almost perfect where I am. Happy 4th of July! Chris ... From: Ron...

http://www.newscientist.com/blog/space/2008/07/license-to-fly-space-shuttle-past-2010.html As much as I love the fleet of falling bricks. :-) Recertification ...
As do I. But the weather can be quite different from Alpharetta to Calhoun. According to all forecasts it should be raining here now, but it's only partly...
We'll see where it goes. IF there are missions that need to be flown and the Aries isn't available or not suitable then it might make sense. Recertification is...
I'm packed also with plans to head out around 6PM and I am oh so eager to do it. But it's a long way to go if there is a poor chance of observing. Ron and Bev...
Hi Guys, Sorry we didn't post earlier but we weren't home. We took the day and went to Lake Conasauga in the Cohutta wilderness. We didn't get back till just...
I think Ron has a good point. I'll certainly support getting together to view some doubles and the lunar surface. We could also view some star clusters too....
Me, too. Often the Moon rises later or sets earlier so it would not always be a big hindrance to viewing. Actually it might be a fun exercise to examine the...
I have a friend who is working on a space-based manga (Japanese-style comic). He posed this question to me, but I have not much studied coordinates in space...
... Humm, isn't there a planetarium program out there that lets you fly around in space and give you basic measurements and coordinates of where you are? Deep...

Don't know about anybody else but I may go up to the farm Fri. night rather than Sat. Weather for the weekend (Sat & Sat. night) doesn't look too promising. ...
Anyone wanting wanting to do this is more than welcome. It's been 6 months since we've had decent weather for a star party. If we need to move the time or day...
We'll be here either way...come one or both nights. I want to remind everyone that we do live in the boonies...there are critters here and it is critter...
I have been out of pocket here lately...broke my foot - can't move my scope around. I may try to hobble on by and peek through a scope or two depending on the...
Right now, I think it is an either night scenario. It's a toss up as to which night will be better. Wunderground is showing 40% cloud cover tonight and 35%...
I'm going to watch tomorrow's forecast. Can't get free tonight. Thanks, Ron for getting out and mowing for us. I hope it's not as hot up there as it is here. ...
