Hello Andy and All
Do not be discouraged
Keep trying
Follow Wes's predictions (not guaranteed) intended for the East coast of the
US, where there are many Observers, including some that serve Sky Pipe and
Spectrograph data streams.
Monitoring them while you observe with your own instrument is a lot of fun.
On 110914 we were disappointed by a no show Io-A, in spite of a red
prediction.
Happens frequently
I enjoyed the conversation with Wes, Joe, and Dave, using Dr. James
Thieman's NASA Conference number.
More to follow
