Howdy all;
I had a fun weekend at Sunglow Ranch near Willcox, Arizona in the southeastern
corner of the state. Nice weather, not a cloud in the sky. However, the
seeing was quite twinkly and wound up not allow high power all weekend. Even
so, I did get in some good observing and having the hotel room 30 feet from the
scope is very nice. Using the back of my Subaru Outback as the standard,
having a toilet, bed and kitchenette nearby is a rare treat. The proprieters
did a nice job of having "lights out" once the sky got dark. I used low power
generally and viewed some open clusters and a few showpieces. On Friday night
we saw a dozen or so bright Orionid meteors, hope that is a warm up for the
Leonids next month.
Clear Skies to us all;
Steve Coe
