[Chaos-l] Thanks

[Allen Davis]

Thanks once again to those who came last night.  I knew I wouldn't stay too
awful late because I was a bit tired, but when the sun goes down so "early "
now, getting in 5 or 6 hours of observing before midnight isn't so hard.

 

Jim E., Jason, Ian, Matt, Michael C., and Bruno thanks for coming guys.  The
skies were very nice.  I have actually seen a bit more transparent, but it
was a very nice night.  The seeing actually was quite good, and it was a joy
looking at Europa (shades of last week) transiting.  A very nice view
through Jim's 18 of the moon in front of the planet.  M15 was a really
glorious sight early.  I forget every year how M15 hangs around to give us a
glob fix while most of the bright ones are disappearing.

 

We also reached out to about 10 or 15 folks from the campground.  Especially
a family with a boy named Tyler who really seemed to pick up on thing
easily.  He named the Veil the "Broken Rope" nebula.  And thought Cygnus
looked more like a sword than a swan.  I can buy that.

 

They wanted to be added to the group so it grows.  

 

Jason made a "hellatious" fire...the biggest I've seen, and felt, at Medoc
since the "old days".  It was GREAT!  

 

Till next time.  allen
