There seems to be some misunderstanding here. Actually, Thursday night at Great Basin was spectacular. One of a few times that I was able to spot M33 with the naked eye so easily. Also pointed out the North American Nebula to a few fellow telescope operators from Nevada who had never been able to distinguish it from the rest of neighboring star clouds. Had a good size crowd that night. True, we were clouded out Friday night and rained out Saturday night. Many thanks to Steve Fisher and Ivo Stutznegger whose names come off the top of my head for coming down.Keynote speaker Wally Pacholka had some amazing large gallery wrapped astro photos for sale. Next year's astronomy festival will be September 19th to the 21st. Tom Sevcik
Nope, no misunderstanding except with Rodger who thought Ann was somewhere she wasn't. ;-) My buddy had to work a long day Thursday so didn't get on the road for Great Basin until Friday morning. He's had a new equatorial mount for his 10" for several months, and hauled it to dark-sky sites at least a half dozen times this summer. Every time, he's been clouded-out. It hasn't been a good summer, the nice nights have been hit-or-miss, and few and far between. On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 12:58 PM, Thomas Sevcik <sfv1ts@hotmail.com> wrote:
