I had to work last night (Sat.) but it looked like it was going to be one heck of a beautiful night. Someone tell me about it and make me drool please :-)(. ...
It was gorgeous! Didn't go to Custer but even in Selden lots of clear sky to see with the naked eye. Even saw a meteor shoot out of Perseus around midnight....
Hang on. Let me get a tissue to wipe the drool up. Yes :-). We had a great night on Friday night. Almost as good. But there was a little humidity in the air....
Hello All!! Got back from the BFSP at Cherry Springs, WHAT A SITE!!! First, I left on Wednesday, 8/31, amidst clouds and rain. I didn't think I would observe...
Hi Steve, Excellent report. As you found out there is a good reason why Cherry Springs is referred to as the Arizona of the East, with the exception of the...
Sounds like you guy's had a geat time. Dave and I were looking at my computer at home before we headed out. We noticed that there was a lot of water vapor in...
THANKS JOHN!! I'm glad that you were able to chat with the LI people and others. I didn't get a chance to get over there and say hello. I posted three photos I...
You have to be in the folder before you can add images to it Steve, Click on the folder, then click add photo. I just tried it and it works. Clear Skies,...
Hi Steve, I wish I had known you were there. Bill Bogardus and I went there along with Dan and Ron from AOS. I got the chance to look through Bills 25"...
Steve: Are you planning to be at Custer this Sat.? In addition to the Board meeting (@4), Jeff is starting his class (@6). If your answer is "yes," could you...
Hello Steve, I'm no expert but I'd say the red edge has to be from all the flash lights. The higher red haze is likely from some ones flashlight beam traveling...
I agree with Kurt completely. Somebody zapped the photo w/ a red flashlight, airglow near the horizon. I can't imagine that there's any light pollution. There...
I agree with both of you, someone managed to hit the lens just right with a red light, and there can't be that much light pollution. What exactly is airglow?...
Steve-- AFAIK your description of airglow is correct, ionized oxygen. Kind of like the ionized oxygen in planetary nebula. I can't believe there is light...
John, I'm on another list with observers from Cherry Springs. Recently there was a discussion that there is a little bit of a light dome from some of the ...
Yea, I'm on that list also and saw that post. Read my follow up post where I contradict myself. ;-) With the exception of the minimal glow from Coudersport...
Glad you found that, John. Jerry is a terrific astrophotographer with much photoshop experience. It looks like he did a wider field than I did, with a nice...
I absolutely, positively agree with that. We got back to great skies for LI the last few nights but after being there, it's a disappointment. Everything is...
After returning home from Cherry Springs I normally don't go outside at night for about 10 days so I can readjust to the local conditions and not get too...
We have to organize a trip back there even if it's not an event. Either way, I'll certainly be back there before years end. The images I am processing now are ...
