 And we also have a Joe Orman Moment coming up on Monday eve. The Moon will 
occult the Pleiades between 8:30 and 10:30 PM. Should be interesting in the 
telescope to see the brighter sisters wink out and wink back in. (October S&T 
p. 63) Moonrise 7:45 PM.

I forgot to mention it at the meeting last night and also forgot to mention 
what the little anti-fogging pads were for that I demonstrated. That's the 
hazard of working without notes. You are supposed to keep a couple of those 
pads in the little secret compartment in your Telrad so you can treat the 
glass when dew starts. Then you can keep on observing. The Telrad is usually 
the first thing to go. I got them at Cabela's, Parker's Perfect Premoistened 
Towelettes, 12-pack $3.99.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Star Trails photo in Arizona Republic


The "Explore Arizona" section of today's (Oct 6) Arizona Republic has one of 
my photos.  I can't find it on the Arizona Republic web site, but here's the 
photo as it appears on my web site:

  This is the longest star trail photo I've ever taken -- an 8-hour exposure!
