    That’s great that it was fought on their security camera. If it had been several feet into the grass, I wonder if it would have been noticed!

    Eagle Bluff just confirmed that the parking lot is available tonight and tomorrow night for observing and the lights will be off. Wish I could be there, but I’m in Staples watching grandkids…

    The way I left it with EB, they will be prepared for us to be there either or both Friday or Saturday night.

    It does look like possibly some clouds moving in later tonight, but right now looking clear tomorrow night. So maybe holding out for Saturday night makes sense.

    I just talked to Eagle Bluff. Even though it’s very late notice, the parking lot is available to us tonight and tomorrow night! I’m not positive yet if I’ll make it down. If by chance the staff didn’t get the lights turned off, go to the entrance to the dorm building (where the bathrooms are) and there should be a way to contact the staff. I have…[Read more]

    What time are you thinking of going out?

    AstroMom replied to the topic Observing tonight? in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 9 months ago

    I called Eagle Bluff today. The parking lot will be available for our use on both September 23 and 24. I will be back in touch with them later next week as the weather situation develops and post on this thread again. Sounded like they would appreciate having an idea as to when members would be coming. They will have a couple of groups there; I…[Read more]

    #$#@%& clouds have moved in. Looking at a satellite map, doesn’t look like they are going to lessen. I think we’ll have to scrub viewing tonight…😢

    Does anyone have a binoviewer like this?

    I would love to have a chance to take a look through one…

    Mike, would you do Root River or Keller if Eagle Bluff isn’t an option?

    I heard that Dean might be working with Eagle Bluff, but not sure which night it was going to be. I’d like to go out.
