Hi all. Long time no write. Life has been, well, interesting the past few months, but I find I need more astronomy than the little observing I’m able to do. So, you get to hear from me – again. I just had to share an observing experience that I had last night. Went to the local drive-in theater to see Toy Story 3 and afterwards drove up to Skyline Drive on U-31 (elevation about 9,000 feet). Transparency and seeing were excellent. After we had been there awhile, I noticed that the zodiacal band was visible, very bright and narrow, from horizon to horizon. It was as easy to pick out as the Milky Way, but by the time I set up a camera to try to photograph it some high cirrus had arrived and it wasn’t as dramatic. It almost looked like a second Milky Way that intersected the “real” Milky Way at right angles. The Gegenschein was lost in the Milky Way itself. Great sight. BTW, Toy Story 3 was a lot of fun and I recommend it. Kim Kim A. Hyatt Architect P.O. Box 124 Mt.
