    Hi all
        I've missed the last couple meetings due to a tooth extraction and a bad cold. I haven't gotten out much for observations this winter due to very cloudy and cold conditions. I am quite happy with election results. Good and capable people are in position.  Would be happy to help with any outreach program.
        I found M33 to be a quite large object, but faint even under good conditions….rather unspectaclar. M100 is an easily seen object, but I found it very helpful to have a very good star map. There are too many galaxies in that area and can get off track (under good conditions). What fun  ;D. I must admit I've been a bit lazy this winter…a needed break.

    Happy trails
