[Chaos-l] Last Night

[Mark South]

For transparency and seeing, it was awesome last night.  If I hadn't been worn out with helping out with my sister's wedding, I would've taken out the scope possibly at JLake.  I did take out a pair of binocs with my relatives and showed them Jupiter, Mizar and Alcor, and M8-- all from the washed-out skies of north durham.  Amazing! It was one of the clearer skies I've seen this summer. 

I would like to go to Jordan Lake tonight possibly if anyone's interested in going. If so, let me know.  [I never go alone out there.] I would like to bag some of those Ophichinus globulars.   Unfortunately, the weather forcast doesn't look as great this weekend.
