There is an outreach at Gamehaven scout camp tonight. Please bring your scope and head on out.

I'll be at Gamehaven between 8:30 and 9:00. I said to have everyone start showing up around 9:30. Head on out and have some fun.

I've had nice views in Big Sky country the last few nights.

Can't wait for NSP!

Hello astronomy fans! I got out for three hours last night and nailed four more Lunar II objects. Mare Austale, Craters Mersinius and Hainzel, Hainzel A&C, and Bailly.

Mare Australe and Bailly were the most interesting. Both sit on the Moons extreme southern edge. Mare Australe covers a whopping 151,000 sq. kilometers. Either I had never seen this obscure sea before, or else hadn't paid any attention to it if I did. The Moon currently has an extreme libration that favors the southern rim. Pretty cool!

My Lunar II target list is getting pretty thin!

I also got out the night of the 13th to draw my map of the Full Moon. That's worth 3 points on the Lunar II list.

Down to my last 20, I should finish it within a month or two.

We have a strong possibility of an Eagle Bluff session this weekend. EB has nothing going on so the parking lot lights will be dark. Right now Saturday looks to be the better of the two nights.

Jeff, Creal and others have gotten a start on the observatory. That would be fun to check out.

Note to Jerome: I have Elvis' 90 degree star diagnol, the acessory case and the instruction manual. If you are planning on Eagle Bluff this weekend, I can bring them with.

I hope some of us can get together!

Jillissa and I could do Saturday night. I'm still scopeless, though! Luka was looking to get out,too. Elvis was such pain at NSP I'd rather just use binoculars. I just bought a pair of 16 x 70 Fujinons off astromart. I might have them by Saturday. If not, I'll just mooch off whoever shows up with viewing instruments.

If it's not TOO cloudy tonight (9-12p) would anyone be interested in going to Keller?

Definitely planning on Eagle Bluff tomorrow night!

Since we have to move Matthew to St. Mary's University tomorrow, I would also like to do Eagle Bluff tomorrow night.

I would be well rested from not having to go to the woods and could do a long session which would be a real treat.

Are folks still planning on Eagle Bluff tonight? Clear sky clock is not so promising with more than 30 percent cloud cover at times but if anyone is still planning to go, Jillissa and I would still be game.
