I don't get many chances to get out and away from the major light polluted areas, but last evening (Friday), I went to Wolf Creek for the SLAS Star Party. Just as Mark Bloomenthal showed up, the clouds parted (how did he do that?) and there before me was one of the most beautiful sky's I had seen in a long time. I can't remember when I had such a clean view of the Milky Way. The viewing was excellent as was the company. The drive motors on my LX200 kept everyone awake as it should. When I left, I stopped at the camp ground entrance by the highway to stetch my legs for the drive home. To my astonishment, there on the road, in the light of the Milky Way, was my shadow. How cool is that? Because of this, there will probably be 6 more weeks of rain. ;) Thanks to all who showed up for the company!
