Last night was frustrating. The star party probably should have been cancelled on grounds of cloud cover alone. It was a sucker-hole evening. Aiming the 32" manually is a chore, especially overhead. The easiest way was using the laser, but there's still a bit of sweeping around unless you get very lucky the first time. Thanks to Bill Kennedy for opening and closing up, I was just beat from burning the candle at both ends and left a bit early. With the telescope in limp mode, video experiments would have been a lot of work, and the cloud cover made them impossible. I hope you get better seeing that we've had lately; it should improve in September. On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 8:02 PM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
I think I do need to get out there a few times this fall.
