[AZ-Observing] Re: Photo from Vekol Saturday Night - The Pleiades

Great picture, Jon!  Sorry to sound ignorant, but what is a Takahashi
Epsilon 210 Astrograph?  What happened to your 14" SCT?

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Photo from Vekol Saturday Night - The Pleiades


> I shot 3 pictures Saturday night/Sunday morning.  This is the first one
I've had a chance to process - M45.  This was the last photo taken that
night.  While I was shooting it, Joe Larkin let me know he heard a rattler
by his car and when I came to investigate we both heard it loud and clear.
By that time we were the last two left out there.   Not long before, we
listened as two vehicles drove by with their headlights off.  They probably
knew I was taking pictures and were being courteous.  :-)
> Joe left and I was there for another hour by myself shooting darks and
packing up.  Right when I was ready to jump in the car and take off I heard
another vehicle drive by with its headlights off.  I decided to wait until
it was long gone and I drove home without incident.

> I suspect the rattler that visited Joe was the same one that visited me
earlier in the evening that Frank "Crocodile Hunter" Kraljic got rid of for
me (Many thanks to Frank).  It was headed somewhere when it ran into me and
I suspect after it was relocated it started heading where it was going
again.

making my way to Vekol unless we find a better place.

inconvenience because I know they're trying to do the right thing.
