I have tentative plans for IHOP on Saturday night, but I am not sure I am going to be able to get away, because my dad came to live with us last week....
Friday night is out for me, but Saturday is a possibility. I have a computer-repair housecall Saturday morning, so if that doesn't take too long and I have...
... Hey Jane, I'll be heading there too. Sounds like a good group heading up! I head Joe-Bob will be there... Steve, Plettstone may be about the same drive...
I found that the park now has its 2007 Newsletter online. http://www.nps.gov/lavo/parknews/upload/summer2007_web.pdf One of the new features at the park is the...
... I'll be in Jane's neck of the woods on Saturday the 16th -- for my son's graduation at UC Davis. I'd duck out afterwards but then we're having a party in...

I'm putting together an observing list for July NM, and one of the objects that was in my observing window is the planetary nebula Abell 64. It is not in...
... I happened to observe this one last fall (Alvin also has observed this object). Apparently its not a planetary, but rather a galaxy although it was listed...

Thanks Mark and Steve for reminding me. I'll definitely re-observe this one again. The image Richard Trost forward to us appears to be a "reddened" galaxy as...
Only two ways I can think of... 1) Large red shift (i.e. LRG's .... Luminous Red Galaxies) 2) Large population of red stars. I think #1 is the more likely...
In this case I think it is obscured by a lot of dust, thus reddening it.much like the sun when it sets over a smoggy horizon. The low galactic latitude...
... I agree with 1 as a possibility. I think Abell 64 is a case of an object obscured by the Milky Way's dust and gas, reducing its magnitude (reddening it)....
