We had such a beautiful day and now I can't even see the moon. Oh well, that's life in amateur astronomy.

I set out my scope and had a 15 minute view of Saturn and the moon before the clouds visited me too.

[Re: Dennis]       #47891 - 01/30/04 11:32 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   You think you have problems? Here in Tucson the skies are clear and the moon is up there, bright and shining, a perfect object for my small scope. But this week I threw my back out, so using an old refractor just isn't going to happen. All I can do is stand out there and sigh a lot. -------------------- Tom W.

I woke up with a glitch in my back this morning but it loosened up throughout the day. Take care and I hope you feel better soon.
