[AZ-Observing] Pretty Good Night at Saddle Mountain

Last night, AJ and I sent to Saddle Mountain for a night of "telescoping".
Among other things, we got a great view of SN 2007gi in NGC 4036 in AJ's 14
Dob. (My C11 was acting up early in the night; only later did I find that
the RA encoder was loose; once I tightened it, she worked like she was
'spozed to.)

We also got most of the Table of Scorpius done last night, but sky rot
(deterioration) down south prevented us from getting it ALL done.

"Philosophically the notion of a beginning of the present order of Nature is
repugnant to me.  I should like to find a genuine loophole.  As a scientist
I simply do not believe the Universe began with a bang.  It leaves me cold."
-- Arthur Eddington (1882-1944), making one of the greatest unscientific
statements of all time
