Stuppo, Ellenvega and I also got out Sunday night. I used my Celestron 11" for the 1st time. Wow, now I know what Jerome has been enjoying all these years. We saw the triple alignment of Mercury, Venus & Jupiter, then looked at Saturn. After that we did Leo's triplet, M13, M5, M57, M27, M81/82, Albireo, M97, the Veil Nebula, M6 & M7, M8, M22, M17, M25, M16 and made an intense search for Barnard's Star in Ophiuchus. I'm pretty sure we had the right starfield, but which star was Barnard's was uncertain. Star hopping from Beta Ophiuchus to the location was interesting because we took the time to look at the open cluster IC 4665. It's big bright & pretty.
Steve left at 10:30, but Barb and I hung out till 2 a.m. There is no quit in that girl.
Eagle Bluff has some families with kids coming in this weekend, but the parking lot lights should be off by 9:30. Dawn said that they would probably be interested in looking through the scopes if the weather co-operates. I hope it does, it's been a long time since the RAC has gotten out together.
Clear skies, Sunday night was AGNFA!!
