No humidity, the bugs gave me a break, polar alignment was just about perfect, and the stars were rock seady! I got some really good views of the ring, M27, and several other fuzzies. It's nights like this that keep me going! tog Post Extras:       star drop Guilty as Charged Reged: 02/02/08 Posts: 1251 Loc: Cattaraugus Co., NY Re: At last, I had a great night!

After a week of good nights where I could not stay up the clouds rolled in for the weekend. Tomorrow night is supposed to be OK, maybe observe a bit from the driveway. -------------------- Andrew Cooper Personal Website and CN Gallery Handmade 18" Dob / NS11GPS / 6" RFT / 90mm APO / TV-76 ...and a twin 10m "I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." --Sarah Williams Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 3 registered and 3 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
