Ha! Too funny Bernie. Both were great shots. Good for you. It was a great night, and very fun to finally meet you.
Last Friday night Steve and I got out and did a lot of Lunar observing. He got Rupes Recta (the Straight Wall) the craters Clavius and its inside crater chain, Longmongatonus, Davy, Eratosthenes, Coperincus, Cassini, Valles Alpes and Plato. There was a bright spot between Valles Alpes and Cassini that I can't remember seeing, A Transient Lunar Phenomena? Not sure. At any rate he made great progress on the Lunar 100. We also had a star in Sagittarius come out from behind the Earthshine part of the Moon. Steve found that first.
Binocular objects were the Andromeda Galaxy, the Perseus Double Cluster, Stock 2 (the Sick Man), Kembles Cascade, Gamma Andromeda (a binocular double star), M45 the Pleadies, Aldebaran and the Hyades, (a short discussion on the perspective of distance of naked eye objects in space.)
David Coset, (the French guy) came out to observe with us. He is so funny and the coolest part of it is that he doesn't even try to be. We love him and ultimately I am sure you will all get to know him. We observed until 1 a.m. until the Moon set. I'd have stayed out later, but the Myrah clan had a wedding the next day. For all of you that have met AJ, my sister, please keep here in your thoughts and prayers. She is on the cusp right now.
We got in 5 hours, it was AGNFA! May we all have many more.
