Was there ever clouds out there Saturday? At Vekol we had clouds starting at 10:00 that covered the whole sky. At 12:00 they disappeared very quickly and the night was clear for the duration. All in all a good night not counting 10:00 to 12:00.

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. - Paul -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
