Wayne,

I have not had any problems related to the fire. When I was down there last
weekend I could see smoke off to the west, but it did not interfere with
imaging.

Once again, another great shot, Barnie! 

I looked at M3 (along with a few other things, two recent SNe and a nova in
Scorpius) last night (June 8/9) with my 25-in just as the moon was setting.
I saw the galaxy NGC 5263 readily, but the other two galaxies in your image
weren't detected. I had some skyglow and moonglow interfering. 

Despite the smell of smoke recently, the skies have been remarkably calm and
clear, except for a couple days. While it's been cool (mid 60's) in the
evenings lately, it actually felt "cold" here last night, in the 50's! Has
the smoke been affecting the telescopes in Rancho Hidalgo?

Clear skies, 
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Hi,


Here are two images of M3, a Globular Cluster in the constellation Canes
Venatici. The first image is a wide shot where you can see NGC 5263, the
small spiral galaxy on the left. The second image is a close up view of the
cluster.
