[Chaos-l] got some observing in

[Allen Davis]

You had the five moons.  Jim Palermo and I also believe we caught Mimas, which was dim and pretty close to the rings on the same side as Rhea and Enceladus.  

 

We had copious rain in enfield and at Medoc before we all got there.  There was steam rising as we set up and we were all soaked with it while setting up.

 

But it turned out a nice evening and we were able to outreach to 20 – 25 people from the campground who just couldn’t believe that “Saturn looked that good.”

The skies weren't to bad here in Cedar grove. I got some scope time in at last. Was it my imagination or did 

I see 5 moons around Saturn. Cassini's ring looked good as well. I wondered around the skies looking at galaxies.

eventually ended up at M57 and called it a night. I really enjoy the fellowship of observing but I really enjoy walking a few hundred

feet and crawling into bed too. 

 

I hope you all had a great night.

Jayme
