It was great while it lasted. I got a Mars position observation in on all three levels, naked eye, binocular and telescopic. I also was able to get a solid observation on asteroid 4 Vesta before Luka and I got clouded out.
I really liked checking out his new gear. WAY cool! It makes me want to get something new, but I am only six hours short of getting 1200 hours of observing with the scope I've got. What a conundrum!
At least I was able to touch base with another person from the RAC. I felt bad about missing the last meeting. The "northern" and the "southern" co-ordinators got to co-ordinate on at least a few objects tonight. It was extremely satisfying. But after we packed up after shooting the breeze for half an hour, I even saw a few snowflakes on the way out of Eagle Bluff!
Better luck next time!
