Hi,
I just saw one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a telescope. I was
out looking at the moon, and I saw a red and a green helium filled balloon pass
across the moon. They were translucent and back illuminated by the moon. By
the way they were orbiting each other you could tell they were tied together.
Their size was about 1 arcminute, so for a 12 inch balloon the trig puts them
at about 3400 feet. Amazing.
Clear skies,
Mark
