Hello all!

Since we've returned to standard time, the star party times
have all moved to 7 to 9 p.m. And just a reminder, there will
be no viewing the week of Thanksgiving. The final star parties
will be two weeks later (the first week of December).

Also, if you haven't been viewing Comet Holmes, be sure to
go out and take a look! Spaceweather.com has photos and
finder charts. We've been observing it on the campus telescopes
and I got a couple of pictures of it with the 16-inch last week,
which you can view here: http://outreach.as.utexas.edu/comet/index.html
They aren't anything fancy... I just attached at Canon Rebel to
the telescope with an eyepiece adapter. I'm still kind of
surprised that it worked at all!

Cheers,
