Hello all! Well yes I know I am late on this. I am just getting caught up. One thing I notice about using a voice recorder is I am too wordy! I used to be a...
My family and I have just moved down here to San Diego from the SF Bay Area, where I was a member of the parent TAC group. Paul Lefevre and I met up there and...
Welcome Paul. I donšt think I had the opportunity to meet you at CalStar. I barely saw Paul L. (Oh boy, just what we need, another Paul :^) Hope to get to...
If you can live in North County inland check out the Hidden Meadows area. It is often above the fog and is the closest in "dark" area. Bob ... From:...
... Hi Bob, Thanks for responding. I'm sure we'll meet one of these nights under the stars. I think Hidden Meadows is too far from my work, which is on Mira...
Welcome Paul! Good luck with the move and all that good stuff. I think you'll find the area pretty nifty but I'm sure you'll miss the Bay. LeFevre will help...
Bill, Are you going to LBV this Saturday? Anybody else? - Nilesh __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful....
Hi Nilesh- Yep, I'll be there for sure (should be there now but it'll hold) and it's an "official" OPTAS night out there. Hope to see you bright and early for...
I'll try for early. After sending a bunch of emails about how right now is a very good time to look at Saturn through a telescope, one of my colleagues has ...
Cool- and the view *is* pretty nice right now! Funny how I couldn't see the crab nebula just a week ago from the front yard but it's plainly evident now and...
Howdy folks! Nilesh got me thinking about this (Jeff knows already but he knows just about everything) so I'll let y'all know this weekend may be the last run ...
Good Evening All, Nice to have met some of you guys out at LBV finally a few weeks ago. Before I head out thereagain, I need to get my hands on a high power ...
I checked the Yahoo Groups files section and found directions to other observing sites but not to LBV. Can someone post them? Also, what is the driving time...
After looking at Clear Sky Clock and the 5pm kickoff of the Packer's game I have decided to take pictures (ccd) from my house tonight. If anyone wants to come...
It takes about 1.5 hours from Escondido. It will be hard to find the way in the dark. If you drive a large truck or van it will get scratched if you are not...
Hi Jon- Nice to meet you out there too. It certainly can get a bit chilly. Rather than buy another sleeping bag I just throw a cheap (I think I paid $40) down...
How was it out there. For some reason I did not get this message and Bill's message until it was to late to go. I watched probably the worst Packer game in...
Last year many of us ventured over to Sentinel, Arizona, for this informal star party. We were treated to great skies and made some great new friends. Included...
Hey, wait a minute. Am I hearing that my neighbor and observing buddy is deserting us for the clear dark skies of Arizona. Wow Bill, whenšs it happening....
...How was it out there?> Bob Nanz Well Bob, it was lotsa big sucker holes for several hours, but pleasant enough nonetheless. After about 1:00 it was...
... Geez, this doesn't mean you're going to be a Diamondbacks fan, does it Bill? ;-) You will be missed, pal. Scout us up some great locations out there, and ...
3: Merge onto CA-57 S toward SANTA ANA. 12.20 miles 4: Merge onto I-5 S via the exit- on the left. 76.08 miles 5: Merge onto I-805 S via the exit- on the left....
Here's the result I got from Yahoo Maps, from 92121: Distance: 262.7 miles Approximate Travel Time: 3 hours 54 mins I bet I could do it in 3.5 hours. ...
You're more right than wrong Paul- the return drive last year took 4:15 from site to my driveway. Speed limit all the way but a stop at Dateland for a date...
I live in Poway, and I stopped for gas in Yuma, and it took me almost exactly 4 hours of easy driving. The speed limit is 75 once you get East of Yuma. There...
Not a chance! I'd sooner pull for the Evil Blue than the Hated Snakes. Will do the scouting and the inviting for sure. But the Sentinel gig will be the next...
... I'll see your 3.5 hours, and raise you 30 minutes...;-) Assuming, of course, I don't get pulled over on the way! The timing for this works out pretty good...
