[AZ-Observing] Re: Report from Hovatter Norte

Paul,

Really enjoryed your report.  Your descriptions have stretched the limits of 
my imagination. Wow, "Strands, filiments and the blindingly luminous core". 
Several of us were just south of you at the Antennas site.  I, too, had an 
amazing night. My first big discovery was heard across the field: "Oh Crap, 
I forgot my altitude encoder!".  Friday turned out to be a good night 
anyway.  Several of us, Chris Hanrahan, Darrel Spencer, Richard Harshaw et. 
al. admired the various parts of the Veil nebula in my 14" (using an O3 
filter).  There were all kinds of swirls and twists and contorted 
nebulosities.  It was sort of  a Halloween experience!  We studied it for a 
half hour.  I wish I could have stayed Saturday, but the local war 
department said I had to be home and be well rested for some company on 
Sunday!

Paul
