Jane, I'm with you. I'm 90% committed to going to Fiddletown Saturday night even though it says partly cloudy. Sunday is fine...so maybe Sat night will be...
I expect to be there, unless there is further drastic deterioration. There's a front hanging out there, question is when will it start to move? The models...
... OK, OK, OK. I will expect to do no more than look at Jupiter and maybe Saturn. Saturn is in front of M1 on Saturday night. If it's clear, this should be...

(I also posted this on TAC...) For those of you who are planning to view the Saturn transit of the Crab Nebula (M1) on Saturday night, make certain you bring...
I cannot tell what the exact boundaries of the nebula are, but fiddling around in Sky Map Pro 9, I get the following: Ingress: January 3rd, 11pm (Hey it just...
