I counted more than 70 but I'm not sure if I got that back alley where you
and probably 10 others were.
There's something tremendously fluffy about sitting out on the big dusty
playa eating a spaghetti dinner while discussing the skies with a hundred
other like minded folks. Thanks to Claude Haynes and the rest of the EVAC
crew for setting this all up
Tom and I took up a little observing project of O'Meara's 110 Hidden
Treasures--A nicely written book with a little history of each object.
Check out #5 next time you're out. NGC 404 A dwarf lenticular galaxy right
next to Beta Andromedae Aka Mirach. ( the bright star the "W" of Cas points
to when you're hopping to that not so hidden treasure M31) When you get the
star in your scope this little galaxy is right there 7arc minutes away,
Mirach's ghost--a nice little treat for Halloween observing this weekend.

It was a great time with great people again and a beautiful two nights
of observing! Thanks to all involved, and EVAC's Claude Haynes and Randy
Peterson for the hospitality tent. Great spaghetti dinner and I sampled
the coffee, chips, cookies, apples, Root Beer, Mexican Coke, Orange
Crush, water, muffins, rolls, brownies, and tea, but thought the hot
chocolate might be too much for me!
Anyone get a scope count?
