      There is a parking lot right off of county road 15. It is, I think, about 1 mile south of the junction with County 126, on top of the hill.  Park at the south end of the lot, where the trees will block the light from the farm light.

        Any chance of the weather being good enough for an Eagle Bluff session tomorrow night?

          Pretty questionable Dean, I believe the forecast is calling for dropping temps and partly cloudy. For casual viewing it would probably be ok but for imaging it would be a challenge.

            It looks cold but clear here. I may go to Keller. I would go to Eagle bluff, but it's late, and I've been driving too much today already. If others are going, let me know.

              Anyone up for a viewing at Kellner tonight or tomorrow night?

                I would love to have gone out last night, and to go out tonight, but sadly , there's some home improvements that need to get done before Saturday.  I hope someone else will join you though.

                  I'm tempted.

                    The sky is pretty sketchy.

                    I can't justify setting up.

                      The sky looks like it has a chance to clear up through the evening and overnight.  Who is interested in giving it a go at Keller tonight?

                        It's breaking up out there.  I'm headed to Keller.

                          The Milky Way popped out for a bit (maybe 20 Minutes?) between Moonset and when the sky went dark due to a fog rolling in.

                          I was rolling home by 3 a.m.

                          I'm headed back tonight if conditions warrant.

                            Luka joined me at Keller for a look at a few bright things last night.  Venus, Luna, Mars, Saturn.  Luka was also able to track down a member of the Leo Triplet, probably NGC 3628.

                              Moonrise is at 23:58 tonight.  It'll be a nice reminder to get some sleep before work tomorrow.

                              Anyone want to get out — Keller or Eagle Bluff?

                                If there's a group heading out to Eagle Bluff sometime soon, let me know – I'd love to stop out since I'm not far from there!  Also, when's the StarBQ?  =)

                                  Kirk, Is it too late to chime in for Keller?  Cloud cover?  I will check back here. SB
