Is Eagle Bluff still on?

Eagle Bluff is available this Saturday night and the weather looks good-cooler for at least one day! Dean says he will bring a case of Spring Grove pop. 🙂

Thank you both! If course, I did not have notifications for this thread turned on so I am just seeing your replies now.

I booked a rustic cabin on the edge of a field in Utica that I am going to try out this weekend. I’ll see how it goes!

I’d be interested in a Saturday night outing at EB or RR.

Does anyone have plans for this weekend. Both nights are expected to be clear, just hot and humid. I plan on setting up out here in Oronoco but would consider Eagle Bluff or Root River if others are going out.

Last evening (5/28 about 9:25 pm) a close conjunction of Venus and Mercury was visible in the NW. A nice image was obtained using the Starblast 4.5 in. telescope with the Orion 6.3 mpixel camera. I added the Telrad inner circle (diameter 0.5 degree) for a reference.

Two bright open star clusters in Taurus (Hyades lower circle and Pleiades upper) now appear in the latest SOHO C3 image. The bright star (black arrow) is Aldebaran which is not a member of the Hyades cluster, but is much closer to us and along the line of sight to the cluster. (also see the ongoing C3 video above)

The Pleiades (circled in red) have now entered the SOHO C3 field of view.
