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...
With the skies clearing tonight after some much needed rain I figured I'd give this Comet Holmes a shot. Stepped outside at 10pm - the backyard was pretty...
Comet Holmes forms a near perfect right triangle with alpha and delta Perseus tonight and appears brighter than delta Per. In my 4" scope at 30-40x there is a...
Jim, I took the scope out an caught a photo of Comet Holmes. It has a bright nucleus, a large round glow and a "tail" within the glow. Very unusual. I placed...
Hi Tim, Wow, very nice shot of it. Certainly an interesting object that merits following the next few weeks. Thanks for sharing it! Jim ... the glow. ... 10pm...
We are watching it from Middle River. Got a few dim images with a Celestron Planetary imager on an 80mm Refractor. Noticed a central star-like core and another...
As Tim mentioned, there appears to be a background star, TYC-3334 at mag 8.275 which may be the second "core" object. If so, the two should separate rapidly. ...
Tonight (10/30) I observed Comets Holmes from Middle River. I could not detect a second core object. So it may indeed have been a star. Last night I took some...
Got the 10" out last evening to check out Comet Holmes. Even with heavy light pollution from my driveway the comet is easy naked eye as a stellar object. At...
