For those of you weary of the Pluto/Planet Ring cycle opera paegent, and not impressed at the Funding Inquision over at NASA, there is a a sky to look at and four night forecast as "mostly clear" comming up. There is a binocular comet near 52 herculis and globular ngc6229 both worth looking at in their own right. Also Clay Sherod (of the volcano on Mars controvery last year) has asked for confirmation on a large dim object near RA 22 28 DEC +36. It might be fun to just look for it. If it proves true you can tell your grandchildren that you confirmed it. Or you can sit indoors and read angry emails, and reply to them.
