Follow on to my previous message...
In fact I stayed up and observed until about 4:30am. What a relief it was to
wear only three layers of clothing rather than four! It stayed rather
comfortable until I got tired and decided to call it a night when the
temperature was about 34 degrees.
I did some great galaxy hopping in the area east of M104. There are several
hundred faint fuzzies suitable for the 25-inch, some pretty large, but most of
them small, and I only had enough time to sweep up about 50 of them. The area
is not particularly well charted by the U2000 with a number of fainter galaxies
not plotted at all. Fun night and no problem with dewing. The seeing was pretty
good, though I had spells of turbulence making it difficult to achieve a good
focus.
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

I was just getting starting observing when you guys went to bed, Steve. I was
in Phx all day to visit my daughter and came home to clear skies and fairly
warm temperatures (~40ish), too warm for the dew to drop in...
Clear skies,

Howdy all;
Joe Goss and I had a fine night of observing and I took a variety of
images. As I mentioned to several of you, I have gotten hooked on trying
some images of prominent dark nebulae in Monoceros, Orion and Puppis and I
got started this evening. Some good results and a little dewing by 11:30,
so we are hoping that some nice sunshine tomorrow will get all the water
out of the ground and we can have a night without dew.
We hope to see a group of observers by the weekend.
Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
