We have not had an observing session at Dulaney Springs for some time. It is a nice close site where we have actually seen the Milky May and I have seen Vail...
... Thanks Tim. I look forward to meeting members of the group. As I mentioned in the Yahoo "application" I've been an amateur astronomer for many years, with...
Tim, It was looking a little promising earlier but it's kinda cloudy now. IR images show fair amount of clouds in area and the NWS forecast says "PARTLY...
Jim, It is at Pot Springs and Bosley Rds. Timonium. Look at the sky clock for the site: http://www.cleardarksky.com/c/DlnyPkMDkey.html Then click the road map....
Tim, Well you won that round - poked my head out at 10pm and it was indeed clear! Never trust a weatherman...<g> Hope you got a chance to catch some neat...
Jim, Actually chalk one up for Attilla Danko and his sky clock. 9 times out of 10 he trumps all the weather forecasts. despite neighbors porch, pool, and...
... OK, now I'm *really* impressed by your luck - a new scope (of any kind) and clear skies? Unheard of! I can relate to your comments about catching an...
At this point (Saturday afternoon) the sky clock for Dulaney Springs is looking good for Sunday night. Anyone interested in in an observing session Sunday...
Tim, I would be interested. Don't know if Alex will be with me or not. Sam -- Sam Walters Baltimore, MD 89 Syncro GL, Zetec Inside 85 Westy Weekender 85...
Tim, I might be able to join you guys for an hour or so - let me know what you decide. Jim ... From: Timothy Hickman To: bccastronomers@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Doug, What do you use a generator for? I have never observed with a motor running nearby The site is a parking lot For a couple hours of observing with a...
I have a lot of trouble with batteries. I use it for the scope, computer, light (and heater in the cold wx). It's a quiet machine; if we're standing over it...
Doug, Give it a try then and see what people think. Jump start batteries are not designed to do a deep cycle drain and only last me a couple of hours with my...
The sky clock went from great to bad to good and shows a sudden clearing at the 8 o'clock block but other weather forecasts do not so I am not going to pack...
Hey Tim, I just poked my head out and agree - looks pretty iffy for tonight. Monday would likely be doable for me. I may just go without a scope and bum views...
Doug, I'll take a little noise pollution over light pollution on the observing field anytime ;-) Jim ... From: Doug Wittich To: bccastronomers@yahoogroups.com ...
Tonight (Monday) is looking good on the Sky Clock Who is coming? and who is bringing a scope? I can be there at 7 or 7:30 and observe from 7:30 to 10:30 or so...

Tim, I would probably not make it until about 8:40 pm or so, would have a small scope in tow, probably need to pack it in by 10pm due to work. Let me know if...
Tim, Guess I'll do likewise, continue on the Urban list from a definitely urban sky. Sorry to be delayed in responding - was at work longer today than expected...
Tim, Yes. Alex will be with me and is interested in some observing. Does this mean you aren't going out of town this weekend to a darker site? Up to PA to...
I'm definitely interested in observing somewhere - might look at making the trip to Tuckahoe if I'm out of work earlier enough today. Should be a good evening...
I am contemplating taking the afternoon off to observe it - not sure if Dulaney Springs would be available as a meeting place... Jim Tomney 301-502-2915 Sent...
Frank, Welcome to the group Jim, We have a permit to use Dulaney Springs dusk to dawn but the afternoon would not be a problem. The only problem would be if...
