What a great night (at least a good night) out at Keller. Frequent meteors , a couple of Iridum flares early in the night. Just the 4 of us, Jeff, his charming bride, my lovely wife and me. While it wasn't very late (gotta save some sleep time for tonight), we did have good viewing.
We were doing very good at locating celestial objects: each of us finding our usual favorites. I got M51 within two minutes!! That made my day –err– night. then on to Saturn, M8, M13, M22, …
When you know what you're looking for you can find it a whole lot faster.
Only problem was my back was getting sore from looking so much at the zenith. Still, AGNFA!
Now hopefully the clouds hold off for tonight. We may have be bringing another young astronomer.
