The only thing burned at BEOTS are Lenny's ceegars [sic] and perhaps a rib or two (or three)

Take the rt224 Lodi exit to rt42 north. Then hang a left on Rodgers a couple miles down. Watch for the place on the corner of 42 and Rodgers with the large red barns and fire trucks. We're .9 mile down on the right. 8411.

StaRV II, Casey, Nelson, and I are ensconced at the Elkhart County Fairgrounds, having completed Leg 4 of 5 of the trip to BEOTS 2012, although the layover here will be a week.

Hopefully, the limoncello will hold out...

OK got question......while I know everyone has fun at this event......but would anyone be interested in guiding me through the Virgo cluster????

Looking through my Astronomical league log book, hmmm well, Ive only picked off one of the late spring group, M104, the entire group is either Virgo or Coma.

Just wondering

Honestly, I only ever did it once. So many faint smudges that all look the same so the only way to be sure is to have photos of them and ID them by the background stars and in some cases the patterns of the galaxies in relation to one another.

Big glass makes it a lot easier. You're welcome to use Stella or Leviathon if you want to chart the area.

Any chance of posting some of the group shots?
Finding them through this whole thread is difficult.
I'm sure there are a few members were forgetting. :help:
