Hello astronomy fans. Tonight looks like a good night according to the CSC. 🙂
However, I am scheduled to tend bar. (Yes, yet again another clear evening when I am scheduled to work.) :-[
To me, it looks like a great opportunity to make a first try at a Messier Marathon. Eagle Bluff is available and while they have a group there, no one is scheduled to come in after sunset, and Kathy has assured me that if the RAC wants the parking lot, the lights can be shut off just by asking. The Moon is three days past last quarter phase so it shouldn't be too bad for brightness.
I hope you folks can take advantage of tonight. If not Eagle Bluff, then local observing should be pretty good.
