Last night at Cherry Rd was, perhaps, the best observing conditions I can remember. Clear, cool, dry and a very slight breeze from time to time. I rated the seeing and transparency as an easy 7/10 for both and I could easily be talked into 8/10! Stars could be seen down to about 10deg above horizon. We had a number of folks there, David Fredericksen, Andres Goodwin, Dwight Bogan, Paul Lind, Thad Robosson, Chuck Akers and Rick Tejera. Who did I miss? I made a number of galaxy observations in Draco, all from 220X to 290X in the 14.5" -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
