        Last evening (5/28 about 9:25 pm) a close conjunction of Venus and Mercury was visible in the NW.  A nice image was obtained using the Starblast 4.5 in. telescope with the Orion 6.3 mpixel camera.  I added the Telrad inner circle (diameter 0.5 degree) for a reference.

          Does anyone have plans for this weekend.  Both nights are expected to be clear, just hot and humid.  I plan on setting up out here in Oronoco but would consider Eagle Bluff or Root River if others are going out.

            I’d be interested in a Saturday night outing at EB or RR.

                I like the RR idea.  I’ll try to make it.

                          Eagle Bluff is available this Saturday night and the weather looks good-cooler for at least one day! Dean says he will bring a case of Spring Grove pop. 🙂

                            Is Eagle Bluff still on?

                              Yes, Eagle Bluff is still on. I know myself, Dean, Randy and several others are planning on coming.

                                  Dean and I are thinking of Eagle Bluff Saturday night. It is available for us. Will update tomorrow.
