Ted and I are planning to give LBV a chance tonight. If you don't know us, just look for the black tower swinging around in the dark -- or a white Odyssey...
Based on the weather this morning, I am a bit BITTER that I didn't go out last night (was up until 3:00AM, and noticed a PERFECTLY clear sky!!!) What is this...
I went to Mt. Laguna yesterday (to see the snow) and I remembered there was once a post on this list about an observing site on sunrise highway. I noticed a...
It was. Nah, it was fun. Not a ton of sky but what was there was pretty good. The "party" didn't come off but all the Calis made it so the PARTAY went well....
I took some widefield shots of Orion last night and when I went to add color from an older shot there was a bright star/fuzzy in the picture from last night...
From: "Jeffrey D. Gortatowsky" ... Apparently the Phoenix guys are sissy's and have no faith in their weather. They didn't show up. The San Diego contingent...
There are actually 3 good turnouts up there and a bunch of other spots too, (one really great spot that comes to mind now requires a 4WD to get to, all of the...
Damn! That's out for me... TSP. Hope you kids get back out there and figure out what the heck the wierd posts were for. Bill ... [Non-text portions of this...
I had planned to write this post earlier but life got in the way. I think it would be useful to all of us if we maintained a log of weather conditions...
I realized I missed putting the year in the subject line. If we go forward with this project it could span years. I am resubmitting the content so we don't...
Fellow TACos, I need to get a sheet of red plastic to cover my laptop's display. Up north, we had a place called Tap Plastics that would cut them to size on ...
Paul, There is a place in San Marcos called MGM Plastics that will do the job for you. 760-944-8909 Curt ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Great, thanks Curt. I'll get over there this afternoon. In case anyone is interested in astro images, I took this one last night from my backyard in Escondido...
I think I will head out around 3pm. This looks light it could turn out to be one of the best nights of the year. It looks like there will be good cloud cover...
I got out there around 6pm and found myself to be all alone except for Dick who had a very nice looking TMB 130. Clear sky clock proved to be very correct last...
We are having a star party at my son's school at 6:30 pm this Monday. North Broadway School located at 2301 N. Broadway in Escondido To reach the school take...
Hi Bob, Glad you could get some observing done. I couldn't make it because of sickness. Do we ever have a short sleeve night weather at LBV? - Nilesh ... ...
It was short sleeve at the start and when I left (actually in shorts). It is too bad it was so cold because it was one of the best nights otherwise. Bob ... ...
Do we ever have a short ... Nilesh, Boy Howdy, do we ever. For 3 or 4 months each year, from about July onwards, there is no need for long sleeves in LBV. Of...
I come back to Cali for the weekend to find nothing but rain, rain, rain. Paul must have picked up a new 'scope or something. How can you people stand this...
... What, are you psychic? I drove up to Hollywood early Saturday morning, and picked up a new C8 (Celestron 8" f/10 SCT) from Scott Losmandy. He'd purchased...
... If I ever have a free 15 minutes again I will contact you :-( Man, have I been busy! Thanks though. Iım gonna take you up on it someday. We still be...
What are the details for the Grand Canyon Party? Bob ... From: "Curt Wittenberg" <curtwitt@...> To: "TAC_South" <TAC_South@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday,...
... http://www.tucsonastronomy.org/gcsp.html Thatıs what I know. Actually, my family had planned a trip out to visit a friend who is director of the NPS...
Heh... just a lucky guess on my part. But with you the odds are pretty good you're either looking at or picking up a 'scope. It's a pretty good drive. About 6...
Looking forward to it. Never seen the Grand Canyon 'cept from the air. Should be a good time from what I hear. Tell me about the busy stuff. I drove over 12...
