Observing tonight?

what time were you thinking?

[MattW]

Hi Guys,

My name is Matt and I'm new around town.  I was thinking about coming out tonight if you guys are heading to Lanesboro  and you are willing to have me!

I don't have a telescope but I do have binoculars.

Thanks!

[Jeff Newland]

Come on out Matt, glad to have you.  I'll be heading out soon.  Sun has set.   

[MattW]

Great, thanks!

I have a Halloween party to go to that I will sneak out of early. What time are you guys normally there till?

[Dean Johnson]

I am loading up right now. I should be there by 7:30.

Ellenvega can make it. Stuppo can't.

It still should be a good bunch. The night is looking promising.

my wife and i would love to come. is there a time frame? we are in NW rochester. we could be there around 830pm? can bring our scope. where would we park?

[Dean Johnson]

5 of us got out there, Jeff, Ellenvega, me, Evan and Kate (Quiet Earth). Nice people.

We saw some stuff, M57, M13, the Perseous Double Cluster, M31 w/satellite galaxies, Alberio, Polaris A&B, M33 in Triangulum, Stock2 'The Stick Man' in Perseus, but it was "Pocket Astronomy".

Then the clouds rolled in and even though we stayed for an hour and a half, we packed up and went home. Ellenvega said "When we get home, it will probably be clear". Sure enough it was.

FRUSTRATING!

Evan and Kate are very nice. I got to Eagle Bluff just in time to catch the ISS going over. Another minute later and I would have missed it.

Hi friends!

Sorry I didn't make it out last week.  Whenever I tried to scoot my way out of the party my wife would give me the stink-eye.  Decided to stick around until it was too late to make it down.

I'm going to shoot to be there if ya'll are going out again this Friday as listed on the website.  Thanks!

[Dean Johnson]

I called Eagle Bluff and this weekend they have two small groups there, but they don't need the lights on.

Sat. looks to be the better of the two nights. Ellenvega can make it, I can too, and I think Stup will be available.

I am also hoping to make it on Sat. eve.
Still working the bugs out of my barn door tracker…
It may be a chilly night out there… Dean, will Vidal be joining us?  I like him, even though he is full of hot air ;D
is this also the weekend we set our clocks back?

I was going to go for ISON on Saturday or Sunday morning, but the weather reports are not giving me a good feeling.  So maybe I'll make my first visit to Eagle Bluff.

[Dave Gross]

I'm planning on being there Sat. night with my new Zooom! eyepiece and correct image star diagonal.

Sounds good everyone. If the weather co-operates, we may have a pretty good crowd there.

To Bernie: Yep this is the 'clock back' weekend, and Vidal will be in the lot!

[bernie engels]

Well, as of right now, the weather reports are looking good for tonight, although it may be chilly, surely better than what's to come in the months ahead.
I'm planning on getting there around 7:00 to set up my camera…
Jack, r you planning on coming tonight/photographing?

[jlmanatee]

Yep, I'm planning on leaving Rochester at about 6 PM
