All I can add is that at SPOC, I experienced a fine star party! Also, negative results can be important, and this mystery deserves more research. It was far from a flop, because we participated with many of the world's great observatories, sharing the same surprising result. Again, many thanks to Kurt. -- Joe --- On Sun, 10/11/09, Raeburn Kennard <rkennard@kmclaw.com> wrote: From: Raeburn Kennard <rkennard@kmclaw.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] LCROSS To: "utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Sunday, October 11, 2009, 12:45 AM I watched from my driveway in Draper, through my 10" Dob. I did not see the plume, but I was very grateful for the excellent detailed instructions provided by Kurt Fisher, and the encouragement of all the SLAS folks. I'm glad I participated, even if by myself, and even without seeing the spectacle we all hoped for. I would do it again.
