Yes, you could win a fabulous astro-prize at Shingletown Star Party 2007, which takes place from July 9-16, 30 miles east of Redding, California! You could win...
This weekend looks like we should have good viewing conditions. We still have lots of space left for volunteers. We are a few days away from the June 2007...
I am not a very good graphic person but if someone takes an outline of the peak, the state flag with a bear and star on it, and URSA Minor, I would think...
Hi Jeff, Photoshop makes doing artwork pretty easy. I think even stick figures could convey the fun of a star party! See you next month... Mark ... of the...
I have posted an image of the Eagle Nebula in our group files section on Yahoo Groups. Direct link: http://tinyurl.com/23nwg6 Mt Laguna Report ... I took my...
I am thinking of going out this weekend to Palomar or the Laguna's. LBV is too warm for me (and my camera). Anyone have any plans? Bob [Non-text portions of...
Hi Bob, I was in LBV last weekend and it could not have been more pleasant. Of course, I didn't get there until about 5 PM and left the next morning at about...
Paul, How was the seeing? Bob _____ From: TAC_South@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TAC_South@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Alsing Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007...
Bob, The seeing was better than average for LBV and the transparency was very good. I never expect great seeing out there and am always pleased when it is as...
I was out at the turnout last Saturday and it was OK but not spectacular by any stretch though darker than many nights due to the marine layer. This weekend...
I'm torn between Palomar and Laguna for this coming Fri/Sat nights. I thought Laguna was darker than Palomar and the region generally more interesting. But ...
Hey Paul, Laguna *is* darker but not generally hotter than Palomar. At least not that I've noticed. I suspect it'll be a bit more breezy but the trees at...
Hey Bill, That is surprising. I would expect Palomar to be cooler due to being closer to the ocean and further from the desert. In any case, it would be good...
Nice Eagle, Paul. It could have used that extra imaging time to get the noise down a little, though :) It only took one time with my computer going to sleep...
Thanks, Paul. I plan to collect a lot more frames before calling this image "finished". And I did the same- turned off the sleep function immediately while...
Bill, How narrow? How do you guide? Bob _____ From: TAC_South@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TAC_South@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Bill Dean Sent: Thursday, June...
Paul, Last weekend the daytime temps on Palomar were quite nice (75-80). During the summer it can be quite warm up there however. The lows at the Observatory...
Great images, Bob and Auggie. I especially like that barred spiral galaxy in the lower left of the second image. What is its NGC number? Cheers, Paul Sterngold...
Thanks I think that it is NGC 4440. Bob _____ From: TAC_South@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TAC_South@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Sterngold Sent: Thursday,...
Hi Bob, 7 Angstroms narrow. Really too narrow but it's sort of interesting I suppose. Too small for your STL11K though. Clear skies, Bill ... On Behalf ... not...
Hey Paul, Sounding more and more like Palomar might indeed be the call for Friday at least. I'm game on sharing a campsite if you don't mind squeaky steppers...
Wow! He lives! Good to see you're still at it between work and life Paul. Hope all's well with you and the family. Maybe one of these nights you'll make it out...
Jeez, I'm really missing some eyepiece time right now. With all you folks heading out it seems like "old home week". Gortatowsky at LBV no less. I'll...
Agreed Curt, believe it when you hear it. Bill knows I had a few hitches in the git-along this week. A relative went into the hospital yesterday. As a result I...
