Nick, your daughter Sarah was delightful- cheerful and enthusiastic about
observing with Dad <G>…… Nice to see Steve out there also, despite some photo
equipment challenges. Midnight at Fishtrap – that seems to be the magic hour
this summer for skies to clear off. It also helped that the moon went down
about 1 hour before we booked it out of there. Cheers! P.

Subject: [SAS] great star party!
It was just me, my daughter Sarah, Steve K., and Phylis E. Clouds plagued the
early evening, but right around 10:30 it cleared up miraculously, right as
Steve left...thanks Steve! :)
We were accompanied by a large herd of cows, happily chewing and mooing away
throughout the evening.
I bagged a few more southern globs for my Messier list (M19, M62, and M80) and
generally had a ball observing the 3 visible planets, the moon (which was a
gorgeous crescent) and the milky way. M
Hope to see you next time! (probably September for me as I'll be at Table
