Hi all, We are needing to begin planning for this event now. May 9th is a Friday night, and Phil and I went to the site tonight to check it out. Looks like a...
Are we still on for tonight for viewing? Steve ... From: StarGazer <star_gazer_20022002@...> To: laxastro@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 3, 2008...
Steve, It looks very iffy right now. There's a lot of water vapor moving in from the Northwest, and it's hard to say if it will clear up later. I just talked...
I'm officially bagging it for tonight. Massive clouds are passing now and it looks like some are forming right behind. By the way, Craig said that he might go...
I went to my dark site and clouds moved in but may view after midnight. Maybe Saturday night I may go out to the field. Steve ... From: Mike Rowlands...
Well, it LOOKS like it may be a good night tonight. I WILL be up there around dark. Hopefully just before. It looks like we may be OK until around midnight....
I thought I might try more observing from home this year. So... I've been thinking about getting a light pollution reduction (LPR) filter. The two I've read...
I have a light pollution filter and its a Lumicon. You can try mine. I would sell it if you want it. I find this one to reduce light level some and brings up...
I have the Neodymium filter and you can try that. I haven't tried it on the SCT or the Dob yet, and really didn't get a chance to use it much on the...
Steve, Mike, It would be great to try them out before I spend my money. But... I only have 1 1/4 ep's, are they 1 1/4 or 2" filters? The Baader is relatively...
Mine is 1 1/4. Mike R. ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you...
1 1/4 filter is mine. I hardly use mine so if you want to take it home to test that is fine. Your best to test it first than take a $50 plus shot in the dark....
Wednesday night is very much up in the air at this point. IF it is cloudy, we will NOT be going to KVR. We have tentatively set a rain date for Thursday, but...
For some reason the La Crosse Clear Sky Clock is stuck on Sunday, March 30. I will contact CSC and ask if there is a problem. He did update the link to point...
Phil and I decided tonight that it would be best if we cancel the KVR star party tomorrow (Wednesday) night. All indications point to cloudy skies in the...
We have been asked by the West Salem Middle School to help out at an event their group is holding in Sparta on Monday night April 28th. The hours of the event...
I thought there was a page on Sky and Telescope's web site where you could sign up as an astronomy club member for a reduced subscription. Am I wrong or does...
Count me in. Not sure which scope - maybe the Club Scope! Mike R. ... help out at an event their group is holding in Sparta on Monday night April 28th. ...
Sooo, We have 150 people at an event, 300 star hungry eyes, and three (3) people who want to help out? Unfortunately, the "observing" part of this event will...
Good or bad, I don't think it will be dark until almost 9:00. End of civil twilight is 8:36 p.m. per http://aa.usno.navy.mil and it will be at least 15-20...
Points well taken Rick.. Maybe we should just opt out of this one? Not exactly "around the corner" either for such a short time of any observing. It does seem ...
From what I've observed in my short time in this hobby, the average person has about a 15 second attention span at the eyepiece! Here's a breakdown of what we...
I'd like to show up and help out with another scope! Could someone give detailed directions to the site, I can't seem to find any info on where the session...
