Mark;
Some little kid is missing their balloon. It certainly is a memorable
observation.

Hi,
=20
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
