Chuck, Obviously you have forgotten more than I will ever know and you are still a walking encyclopedia. And the 2 Daves (Bernson & Bennett) are also totally amazing as walking star catalogs. So far one of the highlights of my armature experience was one night at Wolf Creek. Dave Bennett came over to my scope and took me on a 5 hours no-stop tour of the sky never once looking at any reference material and he was faster than a Goto at finding stuff. And Chuck your knowledge of lens crafting, telescope making, shoot, I can’t even begin to list the breadth of your knowledge. Even your knowledge of WWI bi-planes is incredible; almost like you were there...hehe. So, Chuck I hope you get some satisfaction passing on what you have learned, because I for one love to read and see what comes out of your mind. jg --- On Sat, 1/24/09, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote: From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] White dwarfs and YOU To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Saturday, January 24, 2009, 9:30 PM Be sure to let us know what you observe! Jim, 40 to about 25 years ago, I really had my head wrapped around this hobby. Today I rarely read anything to do with astronomy, and hardly ever get my scope out.. life has other things for me to do. My memory of my observing heyday isn't perfect, either. I make a lot of mistakes. I realized yesterday that I let my S&T subscription expire last November, and I have issues on my dresser from last year that I still haven't even opened. But sometimes I can recall some good stuff I've seen or read over the years. I'm just one of those hundred monkeys at a typewriter.

Looking for Omicron 2 Eridani B in my planetarium software I think I found it. It is close to 37, 38 Eridani but my software calls it Keid. I have it located at 4h 15.748m -7° 37.232'
Chuck, you are like reading Sue French. I want to grab my scope and run outside and look at it.
