[AZ-Observing] Sentinel & Vekol

   I got a solid half a night in at Vekol Thursday night before the clouds 
and cold drove me away. A couple was there Ali and Ed? (I am so bad with 
names!) 
who are thinking of joining EVAC and we shared some celestial sights, Venus 
and Mercury along with a few of the brighter Messier objects. Lynn was there 
also and we got a chance talk shop for a while.
   I managed to get off 4 photos before the arriving clouds and cold drove me 
off. One I took of the Flame nebula I am particularly happy with. It's nice 
to get round stars every once and a while. Not S&T material but light years 
ahead of anything I've done before. 
   Last weeks Sentinal/Swaar Star Party was a blast (even though I didn't do 
much observing or astrophotography) hanging around fun people like Steve, Joe, 
Glenn and Bob is always a great time. But just before dawn I did get one 
photo of the thin cresent moon just above the clouds. Here's the link.
