My view that one time from Big Mountain was very adequate, but I am game for trying out another site. Where is Lakeside? -A On Tue, Aug 3, 2010 at 3:21 PM, Steve FISHER <sfisher01@msn.com> wrote:
I should have mentioned, I'm thinking Lakeside. Quick drive, no canyons, nice dark Northern horizon. Steve

I have been thinking about driving out. No scope tonight but I may head out to the Lakeside site later this evening. Maybe we will see you there. Steve

Anyone good to go? I may have to go and have a lease signed for a property we are renting out but other than that I'm good to go. I'll probably take the 14" out if we go to do some observing and then a chair to sit in to watch the Aurora. On Tue, Aug 3, 2010 at 2:26 PM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
Unless the auroral oval is just huge and covers the whole sky from our latitude, find a location with a dark northern sky. Big Mountain is good, though not a very low horizon. Lakeside is excellent all-around.

Knolls has had good weather even when the city and Lakeside have
not. I
went out last night for a few hours, and even though there was lightning from all directions, the skies over Knolls were clear and transparent. I'd recommend that as a place to head. Incidentally, I finally managed NGC 147 last night. I first glimpsed it at 75x, then rolled back to 30x and could see it. Also got NGC 6118 in Serpens, so it was a good night for tough targets.

Rodger and Ann,
I am willing to give it a go. What time and where? Would higher up be a better location with less air to see through or the Western Desert where you can see more on the horizon? Lakeside or the mountains?
