Hi Chuck It looks as if tonite will be clear and calm, so I'll set up and try again to get a good photo of NEAT Q4. The last 4 nights looked good, got set up only to have cloud cover and by 10 or so clear out again only to have Q4 to low over Maalaea bay and lights. We'll go up Haleakala this weekend to get a dark sky shot and see if I can get some tail like the Chris Schur image at SpaceWeather, just REAL nice. The flashers at star parties do save gear, how long do a set of AA's last?? A few months to a year I'd guess................. Aloha Rob
