You know it's bright when you can see your shadow by it, or, see Mark Bloomenthal across the empty parking lot going... uh, er, well, when you can see your shadow! ;) Quoting Rob Ratkowski Photography <ratkwski@hawaii.rr.com>:
Hi Joe
I/we are not involved YET. We've been remodeling our site and when that's done the photometer should be in as well as a new scope for the search and several computers. It has been some work but when we're finished we'll have a very nice site for a small club. Besides our use, we're getting involved in EPO projects and that is lots of fun especially when a student and/or parent looks up and goes 'Oh my!!!!'. We had one group from the mainland once and during the session a woman looks up and says clouds are coming in. She looks a little harder and then says "OH my God, it's the Milky Way, it did look like a big cloud rolling in, still gives me chicken skin relating that story.
aloha Rob
