A lot of folks missed out on great skies Saturday night at the Antennas.  Lynn 
Blackburn and 
Dora-Lynn were there with their dog Pumpkin, and Joe Goss and his wife, and 
Dave Fredrickson, and a couple others.  The wind died down early and the sky 
was exceptional.  Once again I was fooled by the rising milky way, thinking 
that clouds were moving in.  There was a big "loopy" part of the milky way 
reaching into Scorpius that I never noticed before, not in my 101 years of 
observing.  I also took three 40 minute exposures with the 12 inch 
astrograph.
