It was AGNFA at Eagle Bluff on Friday night. Allen Cameron and Steve Remick beat me to the parking lot, then Dave and Aaron showed up, then Mike and Mike from the LCAAS and the not quite final show was Randy.
The sky was very good, and while we saw some meteors, they weren't as numerous as I expected. Mike Rowlands, Steve and I had "binocular wars". (We lined up all 3 sets of binoculars we had with and all looked at the same thing to compare images) That was fun. Dave and Aaron did some naked eye astronomy figuring out the lesser known stars of constellations like Taurus, I helped Allen Cameron find some targets and Randy kept everyone hugely entertained as he always does.
Ice was a problem. By 11:30 everything had a coat of ice so thick you could have used a windshield scraper. Randy and I were the last ones in the lot when lo and behold, Ellenvega pulled in with an untouched telescope. We warmed up for a bit in the trailer, then Barb set up and Randy and I threw every obscure deep sky object we could think of at her and she found them all, most of them very quickly. That was very fun! She finally iced up and we hit the road at 3 a.m. Except for the ice, it was the most beautiful sky you could want. Wonderful.
