Jupiter is just 2 1/2 deg. south of the Moon this morning. (At 7:10 am it was a below and and a little left of the moon). Jupiter should be able to be seen in...
I finally got a real Web Cam (Philips ToUcam Pro II) a few weeks ago and last night finally got some pretty good seeing without too much wind. I took a shot...
... Really nice, Bob! Those ToUCams seem to be perfect for planetary imaging. That's a nice shot, I hardly noticed the blue overlap in the rings. Terrific! ...
Thank you. I made another image using about 200 images from 2 video runs. It shows a bit more detail. I can see this camera is going to be a lot of fun. Bob ...
Well done Bob. Planetary imaging with the Toucam is the best setup from what I've seen. Have fun and let's see more. Steve ... ago and ... wind. I ... and an...
I finished the first pass on this a week or so ago, but had neglected to post a link... I did a four-image mosaic of the Rosette Nebula from my backyard, and...
Paul, Absolutely beautiful! Your work keeps getting better and better (and your equipment more expensive, wonder if therešs any correlation ;^) It is ...
... I can't -- trip to Chicago early Sunday morning :( I did talk to Bill Dean today, though, and he's coming out and planning on being there on Saturday,...
Yep, Bill will be out there. Išm saddled with family obligations. The plan was to observe with my brother in the backyard. After 3 nights of crystal ...
Looks like I'll have to make it next weekend too. I picked up a bit of the intestinal bug that's making its way around town. Bill _____ From: Paul LeFevre...

Last Saturday night turned into one of the better nights I have had seen out at LBV. The temps started in the low 60's around sunset and dropped rather fast to...
There were a couple of people who came after dark to LBV and drove up and down the road until they set up. After this happened the people from OPT said they...
I understand their concern, but can they do that legally or within the park rules? That seems like a drastic action. Would the barricade be easily removed, and...
... This was my first thought. Itšs not a private site, just a piece of BLM land. On the other hand. Last new moon we had someone pull in about two hours...
It is pretty wide open there so I am not sure what a barricade would do. At least if someone sees a barricade they might not come in with their lights on or...
Seems to me that Curt's idea is the way to go. A big sign with some red LEDs, place far enough up the road so that headlights are not yet aimed at everyone,...
HI Paul- OPTAS pays out a pretty hefty annual use fee for the site for the official monthly star party. Back in the day there was a park fee of $5 per night...
