I will surely come to visit and stargaze eventually. I
am sorry to hear that Sentinel may become light
polluted.
I call them lame asses because some of the members of
my local club were going to help me with a public Mars
star party and they didn't show up. Plus, the club
president told me that they never sponsor public star
parties.
I'm not as active at public star parties as some are,
but I think that a club should do them occaisionaly as
a public service.
There, I have been ticked off about this as you can
tell. I will go back to see them eventually.
I have been a vicarious AZ observer as I still get the
emails. The general astronomy items are still
relevent, I do generally skip the strings of star
party announcements.
Being an Indiana astronomer has been quite nice
actually. I have done a lot more observing than I
would have imagined. I built a small observatory for
my 7-inch Mak, and my backyard is fairly dark. On one
evening last winter I was able to spot M33 with the
naked eye.
Take care, and clear skies.
