Good thing you had electrical power, or nobody would have seen anything! Thank Gosh you were there alright. And I didn't know you invented GoTo. Do you know Al Gore by any chance? I'd never call myself a night sky master, but I know I would not ever impose on you in that fashion. "Too many stars" is an oxymoron and never a problem. ;o) Name names, by all means. --- diveboss@xmission.com wrote:
I won't name names, but I've had a couple of our clubs well known "night sky masters" while at Bryce, ask me to slew my fabulously accurate "goto" scope to an object they were trying to find among the crowded night sky, and shine my laser through the eyepiece to pin point the target so they could put their scope on it. Thank Gosh for the technology of goto's and lasers... Did I say "Gosh"? ;)
Quoting Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com>:
I've had that experience at some nice dark Utah localities -- found myself straining to pick out well-known constellations just because there were so many other stars!
