[AZ-Observing] A quick TIMPA report at 3am...

Just got back from an enjoyable evening at TIMPA.  Quite a crowd 
considering so many club members are off to the canyon for GCSP.  I 
think there were over 20 vehicles and scopes present, a few old timers 
like myself and quite a few newbies as well.

I did a little helping out with some newcomers but still worked on my 
own observing list a bit.  I brought my 90mm refractor and worked out of 
Webb's 'Celestial Objects' reading through object descriptions over a 
century old while observing.

Arizona summer observing in short sleeves, shorts and sandals until the 
Moon came up and ended the night. A few photos are linked below for 
viewing enjoyment, including one of the Mars/Saturn/M44 conjunction.
