I would love to go also, but will not be available until after the star party as I will be out of town! Suds like a great time. Forrest ... From: Robert...

Hi Dawn - We don't have anything organized, but I am copying the membership on this reply to see if there is interest in an ad-hoc viewing session. I think the...
Paul, I would really enjoy going. If we ever get any clear skies to allow us to see the pinpoints above would be great! Forrest ... From: Robert Burgess...

Hello, Is this directors' meeting happening. If so, where? If it's cloudy or rainy, I can make it. If the weather's clear, I have a star party...
Joan, I don't think the meeting will be happening as Paul is on vacation for one thing. We do need to get together soon. And on another point, Weather .com...
Rob, I haven't purchased a screen. I honestly don't want to purchase something unless I know exactly what people want. Also, where would I purchase one...
Lets watch the weather and if it is going to be clear we could set something up and all meet for some meteor watching and maye a scope or two. Forrest ... ...
Hi SM Astronomers and Dawn - Sounds like there is some club interest in viewing the Perseids. Though it is only reasonably dark (~mag 5.5) I offer my backyard...
Hi Matt - How about we aim for Tuesday, August 26th (weather permitting)? We have a star party scheduled for this weekend, and after that the moon is pretty...
Hey folks - We decided to return a little early from our 'vacation' on the lake. We were just having way too much fun sitting around in the rain... I plan on...

Hi all, I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, I just recently subscribed to the list. I've been interested in astronomy since I was a child (I'm...
Hi James - Welcome! I'll be interested in seeing your bino stabilizer hack. I have a pair of 16x70 binos that are great, but almost impossible to use handheld....
Thanks for the welcome, Paul. The hack I am modifying can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7cp8mgLz5I Basically, you get a length of strong string...
Hi All, We'll have to make the call on the star party by tomorrow morning I think, and my recommendation now is to cancel it. Weather.com as of tonight shows...
Welcome, James! Glad you joined us and thanks for intorducing yourself. Don't know if our star party is going to happen (see another e-mail just posted), but...
Yeah, I've been watching the weather too and it certainly looks dodgy. Let's make the call sometime tomorrow. I think that 9/6 is the date for the CEHS star...
These days I have a fundamental suspicion of weather forecasting. Despite the science involved, on countless occasions I've found myself quite surprised when...
I don't think much of forecasts either :) General forecasts are often overly gloomy with respect to star gazing (I speculate) for a number of reasons. First,...
