This board has been quiet for quite a while, so I thought I would post something. Has anyone been observing the visible planets? Last night from about 10:00 to...
I've been away this week but took the 7x50 binoculars along. Last evening Venus was dazzling and the sky pretty clear (5th mag easy at this location in NY) so...
Yes, I'd like to know this also --- I know I havent been active with this group, but this might change now that I am getting back into things. Tim, I am the...
Mark and Jim, Good question. In 2004 after making some calls to Rec and Parks and scouting some parks Bill Geertsen and I went to the Cockeysville Rec and...
Tim, I'm certainly interested. I actually went out the evening of the
Perseids - and had company as there were other folks there
(non-astronomers) who had come...
interestingly, they still list Astronomy on their web page: http://www.cockeysvillerec.homestead.com/About_Us.html I would love to check out the site -- but...
Mark, That is interesting on their web site. I will try to give a call this week. I have always set up on the parking lot and tried to use cars as a block for...
I made the call and was asked to email a request to get a permit. It sounds like we can get the permit without going to the council again. If we get this going...
Thanks Tim. I agree. I know we are a small group, but we need to do our share. Thanks again, Mark ... again. ... year. ... programs ... I was ... of ... ...
Tim, That's great news, thanks for the follow up. You can count me in as doing a meeting or two to support the effort. I'm also willing to look at occassional...
I got the permit! September 1, 2007 thru August 31, 2007 Very fast service. While I have never had a problem - the parking lot has had people pulling in while...
Hi Tim, Wow, that was fast - I was expecting a couple of weeks at least. We'll have to get a plan together in terms of attending some of the council meetings. ...
Is there anywhere that is truly *safe* to be out alone anymore? Especially with expensive gear? If i were to go on a night we hadnt agreed on, i would bring a...
Jim I am up for tonight or possibly Sunday. I can give a copy at the site or make other arrangements. This is an informal group and we do not have any rules...
Absolutely - it makes good sense and common courtesy to let folks know if you're planning to be out there. This is great - looking forward to meeting you guys...
Well the Clear Sky Clock has now really downgraded the prospects for this evening (Saturday) - so I'm inclined to trust it and scrub going out this evening....
Tim, ... No doubt about it - this hobby can drive you crazy with that stuff! I guess it must have been some sort of aberrant data that caused the CSC to...
i can't make it this time -- too bad, because it looks to be fantastic ... From: Timothy Hickman <hickman@...> To: bccastronomers@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Dusk was setting in when I got to DS a little after 8pm. Tim was already aligning his 12.5" DOB - was nice to finally have an opportunity to meet him in...
My friend, Joe Miko and I set the Celestron 8 Inch SCT on my back deck in Middle River last night. Joe and I have been observing since we were teenagers and...
Has anyone been observing Mars over the weekend? A 2 a.m. local time 10/22 I turned my C-8 to Mars. Although the planet was in about 85% gibbous phase I could...
I observed Mars on the mornings of 10/13 and 10/14. There was no visible polar cap. But, I think this the wrong season for a polar cap to form. Syrtis Major...
