As embarrassing as it is, it took a call from my wife to get me out to review this interesting event. Karen called me asking if "Sirius" was in the north-west sky. It looked fantastic through the venerable 4.5" grab-n-go at 45x. Once she arrived home, we watched it until it faded from view behind some passing clouds.

I was lucky to see it at all given the clouds. Seems much lower than those I've seen in the past.

It appears to be slowly moving to the west over the past couple of hours. - Sam -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
