Weather looks good.  Who is getting out this weekend?

Yes, Eagle Bluff is still on. I know myself, Dean, Randy and several others are planning on coming.

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!

excellent photo Bob! i havent been able to post but been wanting to mention that 😉

very nice Mike!

Great. I just parked. Hope to see you all soon!

OK, I am going to leave soon.

I like the RR idea.  I’ll try to make it.

I am thinking about RR tonight.

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.
