John, With the new-moon Saturday night still 10 days away, I think it is too early to worry about the weather in LBV. Accuweather is saying "partly cloudy",...
I hate to admit it, but you're probably right. I'll actually be home and available to go out this weekend, too -- figures :( My fingers are joining yours! Paul...
... Yuck, TMI! We don't need to know about your personal life. JK, Paul Sterngold __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of...
Hi Paul, According to my sources, the new moon is on Wed., the 9th. That's four days after Saturday. Even still, I have a previous commitment on the 12th, so...
Last time I saw a CSC prediction like it is for tonight, there were a lot of thin clouds. It looks like there could be some good viewing late. I will probably...
Hi John, You are right, this is a good 2-weekend month for observing. This Saturday Debbie & I are going to a Planetarium in Orange County where we will have...
... I know the feeling. I'll be in San Francisco all next week (business trip), and next weekend is out. This Sat. is my chance too, and it's not looking...
It was clear and very dark (little in the way of light dooms) for about 2 hours after sunset last night. The seeing was only fair. The temps were in the mid...
Anyone interested in a run up to Palomar for some viewing Tuesday night. I am looking for some one to help me set up and brake down my 25". The prediction is...
Maybe. I'm thinking about scouting out a more local site on the way out though. If I go all the way out I don't think I'll make it in before 11 or so. Saturday...
I will head out later this afternoon. The forcast for Sat. night is a little uncertain. Tonight looks really good. Hope to see some of you out there. Bob ... ...
We're heading out to Stagecoach trails tonight but we'll be too late to set up with you guys at LBV. We wouldn't be out there until after 10pm. I think you...
If you do come in after dark I suggest you park before you get to the first scope you see set up and walk in. When you make the left make sure your lights are...
Thanks Bob. That would be our plan. We've been out there before and we understand asto-etiquette. :-) I wish we could get out there earlier but some of us...
I got out to LBV about 5pm Friday. The temp was about 75 with a dew point of 44. The temperature fell quickly into the mid 40's and there were dewing problem...
... Apt, poetic description, Bob, even if unintentional. <g> Cheers, Paul Sterngold __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business -...
We didn't get to Stagecoach until well after 10pm. By the time we set up camp it was past 11.30 and way past my bedtime! The sky looked incredible though....

I will be acting as the host/contact for the 2005 Explore the Stars Program at the Observatory campground. The program consist of an informal viewing on Friday...
I know it is very early for this announcement but I wanted to make sure I got it out there. On successive Mondays in July (11th and 18th) I have been invited...
... The desert is green everywhere, this year, and the butterflies are making weekly car washing a necessity. I have yet to visit LBV. Is that a paved highway...
That is just an atmospheric effect, there is nothing but scrub. There is nothing paved in the area. In the direction of the picture there is not much for a...
Greetings, I have organized a star party at the San Diego Jewish Academy tomorrow night (Tuesday) from 7:30 PM til finished. If any of you can make it and...
Curt, I'm a "maybe" at this point -- can firm that up tomorrow morning. Paul ... From: Curt Wittenberg [mailto:curtwitt@...] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005...
... Great Paul. Keep me posted. A simple scope is a good one. Moon, Saturn, Jupiter if its high enough. Other stuff is optional. Curt [Non-text portions...
