Ok, it's suppose to be clear tonight, so (after you watch the Big Bang Theory) grab your telescopes and binoculars and go outside and look at some stars! We...
Well, it's about time. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to test out the new TS Optical FF2.0 field flattener on the triplet apo tonight. Since the moon is up,...

I think it's cruel when something good is promised, the thing in question seems to almost materialize, and then is snatched away at the last minute. The...
You see Rory, sometimes the mere thought of using a telescope is enough to bring clouds in defiance of weather reports. Other times, *talking* about using a...
Well, at least you were able to see something last evening Judy. It was COMPLETELY overcast in my neck of the woods. No point setting up or even looking...
Thanks, Kelsey. At least we didn't even start to set up the scopes. We all know how that guy feels. Judy ________________________________ From: Kelsey...

Good report, Judy. If one looks, you can always find something interesting! Don ... *************************************** Don E. Bray Mail P. O. Box 10315,...
Rory, I think Don, Val and I are about equally to blame for the current cloudy mess. Don did get a new camera, but Val has a new mount and I have a new Field...
Perhaps we should institute a policy of staggering our purchases. On the plus side, we should be due for a long stretch of clear skies. Or does it not work...
Stagerring our purchases is never a good idea as that will ensure unending cloudy skies. And also I'm not sure if buying everything together will result in a...
Jennifer, Amelia, and I were out there for the entire week. Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night were clouded in. The rest of the the nights were just...

Sounds like you guys are having Astronomey withdrawal symptoms. The withdrawals are caused by long periods of cloudy nights and/or not able to view night...
Thanks for that diagnosis, John. Now how about you write us all a prescription for clear skies, Dr. Croom? Or is this all a conspiracy to drive the price...
What was nice at TSP was being able to look at faint galaxies with a magnitude of 14 without any issue, and to see the Centaurus Cluster (Abell 1377), and for...
The cure is Ft. Davis, Texas and I'm going there this coming new moon! But yeah, I can attest to the equipment buying. In the past few weeks, I purchased a...

It's supposed to be clearish tonight, but the humidity is so high that there's a haze out. I took a look outside last night before it completely clouded up,...
I actually did get a little observing done last night. It was a little hazy, but the moon was so bright you couldn't see any faint fuzzies anyway. The moon...
