Today I was invited to help clean up the spam on TAC-SHASTA, and implement some anti-spam protective measures, like we have here on TAC-SAC. Mark Wagner and I...
This is a hot tip I wanna share with you guys. Telescope used: C9.25" NGC 4449: Galaxy in Canes Venatici. Extremey bright mag 9.8, (using 138x) very large, box...
GSSP and I are considering whether to offer meals at CalStar this year. I checked with Valley Catering this morning. The prices will go up, but not as much...
Before I step on anyone's toes, or someone perceives that I'm complaining or pointing fingers, let me say up front - this is just an observation. A few days...
This weekend looks pretty darn good for observing! I won't be able to observe on Saturday night, since my son is home from college for a couple of days, and...
Here are a couple of observations that highlight the supergiant HII regions in N4449 -- 18" (5/14/07): very mottled, irregular appearance, elongated ~2:1 SW- ...
Bill, Sorry that you can't make Saturday. I plan to observe somewhere; Mars I plan to head to IHOP if we have sufficient numbers otherwise it is at BC. CS, ...
Hah!? I observed this in 1999 with a 12.5" dob and all I wrote down was "Elongated!" :-)? Maybe I should check it out again now that I have a bigger scope. ...
I recognized the number immediately. I recalled it as a very odd looking galaxy. I'm sure this will be a good target, and I'm interested in trying some...
... There is no TAC-SAC organization. TAC-SAC is not a club: It's a mailing list with observers who like to coordinate their observing plans. NEAF has...
Randy, NEAF and RTMC are two totally different events. They are not even close of what they are intended for. Stellafane and RTMC are closely related. NEAF...
Not so quick! RTMC has for a long time had the "underbelly" reputation as the Meade and Celestron show, to sell their newest products.... that sounds a *bit*...
Everyone, again I apologize if I've started a bit of controversy and probably some misunderstaning of my intent and my query concerning NEAF. I could have...

Hi Bill, Here's a shoprt OR. The drive up to IHOP from Davis was surprisingly fast, maybe even a record. I arrived at 6:20, was set up by 7, and spend a hour...
