We had 4 people at our little impromptu star party at Cherry II Saturday
night June 4. Cherry had the three C's for good observing, clear calm and
cold. Unfortunately, the 'c'-ing was terrible and it was quite turbulent all
night. Saturn looked like the Goodyear blimp at one point. And a little too
cold at a low of 42 degrees by 3 am. Present were Dwight Bogan, Bob Christ,
and one person who showed up for 20 minutes before his wife ordered him home
before I got his name.
With the help of Bob's map, we were able to find the super-nova in M51
through my 20-inch and Bob's Celestron 11" SC. Dwight caught it in his APO
and may have imaged it. Quite prominent in a line with three dominant stars
(or h-alpha regions) superimposed on the arms of the galaxy, S side
(opposite from the companion).
