Rodger, I was outside around 5:30 and it was a beautiful sight! I also enjoyed seeing Orion. The air seemed really clear and the sky was just perfect. Too bad my camera and scope were sitting in the garage. Oh well, at least I got to see it with my own two eyes. Cheers, Tyler _____________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Rodger C.

It was awe inspiring. I was in the middle of a shift working at a drill rig in the Book Cliffs when I looked up and saw them. I had to stop what I was doing and take a picture. It would have been worth getting up for. Thank You, Rodger C.
