Hi Paul,
Thanks for the kind note.
I also got transfixed with the veil and an O-III filter. It was in an
uncomfortable position, so I just did one traverse of all the different parts.
I had observed it previously with the 25" at the Anita site near the Grand
Canyon. It was (and remains) a real mind-boggler. All the twisted strands and
such. John Durham dragged his wife out of deep sleep to climb the ladder and
see it on that trip.
I would have also liked to stay Saturday night, but I was worn out from the
physical effort it takes to observe with the 25". And, sleeping in the day out
there is still too hot. One such was enough.
I forgot to notify you and Jack Jones again. Sorry, I just did a response to
the malachite group. The Antennas site may be better; I am just so used to
Hovatter Norte and feel so safe there.
Best, Paul
