Howdy all;
Long ago, the Questar gang showed up at Riverside and set up a big Questar
12 on that huge Byers mount on the upper observing field. I have some
observations from that night, but I did not write down the date--silly me.
Is there someone who can tell me the date of this occasion?
I will tell you that the view of Jupiter with that scope was terrific. At
300X (12 inches at f/15) with a 25mm eyepiece it was just idling in 2nd
gear. There was lots of detail within the 8 bands, even at the pole we were
seeing. Beautiful color, mostly brown and light blue among the white spots
and festoons.
I am putting the observation of the Dumbbell nebula into the book, if I can
find out the date. I don't wish to sound too foolish.
Hope someone knows;
Steve Coe
