Hello Cosmic Rick,
Yes I was looking at M31 about the same time this
morning. Mostly I was manually doing a comet search
around sagittarius and Hercules area with the 12"
Sounds like a fun class but I doubt I'd learn much
taking it. I actually gave a power point presentation
on cosmic genisis for one of my classes at the
University center a week ago using some of my astro
pics.
I start a new class this afternoon about using
technology in education. All done on computers so no
books for the class.
Whenever you are going by stop in and watch the Coyne
lecture or take it with you if you have a VHs VCR to
watch it on.

Truth and beauty can be found by all who search the Heavens above.
