We're going to head out to Keller.  Getting late now, for me, for Eagle Bluff.    ;)   If you go, have fun out at Eagle Bluff.  Or, see you at Keller.   :)
That suits my schedule.

Who is headed out tonight?  I'd like to take a swing at that comet. 

The darker the better - Eagle Bluff?

Nice clear skies, but for the smoke and sparks coming from the ship's stacks.  Decent looks at Luna, Jupiter and Pleiades with Binos.  Otherwise, I got good practice blocking out ambient light with spare clothing. 

A little green and red showed on the horizon to the north around 3-4 in the morning, but I think that was night showing signs of fading into dawn.

Cloudy now, but we can always hope for better luck tonight.

Clear skies and auroras last night.  Too bad I missed it.  Reports are that it could be good again tonight.

Been a bunch of cloudy nights here in AK.  Hope to get that out of my system by the STAR-BQ!

I might stop by Keller.  I have a dinner in the cities this evening.

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

Not at all.  CDC looked decent. I will try to be there around 8:00.

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?

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.

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.

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?

The sky is pretty sketchy.

I can't justify setting up.
