I, too, noticed the new highway signs.  But i t was a good night, clear,
not much wind, and quite a few people (about 10). I got my first look at
the M51 supernova in Tom Polakis' scope, and  had no idea it was so
bright. I set up for photography with my 12.5" and lots of little things
started going wrong before I could photograph M8 . F irst, the focus
function of Nebulosity wouldn't work, requiring a lot of manual focusing.Â
Then, guiding was very sloppy. This gave new meaning to the term
sub-frame. You start out with sub-frames intending to stack them, then you
select the only decent  frame to print!  A single frame of M8 is posted
