Let's blame it on the comet. It just does not want to be seen. Frustrating that the clouds are not that thick and don't go up that high. I got this shot over Utah Lake this afternoon showing we just need to put a remotely operated observatory on top of Mt.

Joe would probably prefer to take his images while sitting on the peak. :) patrick On 28 Dec 2012, at 12:58, Tyler Allred wrote:
Thanks for fessing up. I am happy to share the blame with others. Does anyone else want to step up? Tyler

Tyler, I have to share some of the blame. I had Starzonia install their Hyperstar system in my Celestron 8" OTA, taking it from f8 to f2.1, and it has not been out of the case since I got back from Tucson. 73

I apologize to everyone. This bad weather is all my fault. My carbon fiber sandwich tube finally arrived from Germany and the fully-assembled scope is sitting uselessly atop the Paramount in my observatory. I expect the bad weather to continue indefinitely. Tyler

By the way, who purchased or received astronomic equipment for Christmas? The weather down here in St. George has been quite nasty for observation. I know one of you guys screwed it up. Tyler, did your new equipment come in?
