Planet viewing/Star Party
The star party on Anelope Island Friday night was a lot of fun. We had a least 10 astromomers there. The clouds and rain cleared off at dark and it stayed clear until about 1:30. We were able to enjoy the view of the planets and a lot of galaxies. Dale and I spent a while looking at all the galaxies around Ursa Major, Leo and Virgo. We mainly spent our time on NGC galaxies and didn't spend much time in the heart of the Virgo Cluster. I thought that several of the galaxies were real pretty. It just goes to show that I shouldn't spend all my time of the Messier objects. How was the party Saturday night? Thanks. David Dunn 801-961-3253
Well, just to let you all know, I'll be in Germany for a month starting tomorrow (may 14th). I'll be back around June 11th. I hope you all have good skies until then! Rich Tenney will be managing the list until I return. :) Oh, and I've had my list msgs off for a bit, and I'm going to turn them off again in an hour or so so that my email box doesn't get full while I'm gone. See you all! Cynthia
