Howdy all;
Well, the Oregon Star Party was a real ball. Something like 700 people.
I met lots of folks who I have only chatted with electronically and made
several new friends. One who does not own a computer--how could you live?
We had excellent weather, I only got really clouded out one night out of
nine and two night were very good, I rated them at 7 out of 10 for
transparency. We had several periods of excellent seeing, I split doubles
of one arc second! Also, some excellent viewing of Jupiter at high power.
Right now I am in LaPine, Oregon. There is a public observatory at nearby
Sun River. I am going to visit with the folks who run it, I observed with
them at the OSP. After an evening or two of looking through their scopes,
I will start south.
I plan to be in Arizona by the second week in September, are we going to 5
Mile Meadow?
I can put together a presentation for the Holiday Party is someone has
stepped up and plans to host it.
See ya;
Steve Coe
