Hui SAS Gawkers:

 

Truck’s loaded, truck and trailer seem to be functional, I’m going to go to Hwy 4 tonight. I may have some LHS students there to gawk at outer planets and I’m going to do a tick count on my servo motors. Sky looks clear [now at least], temps are tolerable, let’s go have fun.

I’m going, I have tick counting to do on my servo motors, so I’m going. I suppose it will be imperfect though.

I’d love to tell you how awesome Hwy 4 was tonight, but I can’t. It sucked. It was clear when I left Lathrop, the Sun was shining in my eyes when I back up the truck and trailer at Hwy 4, Paul and I both had our scopes set up, and then it was totally socked in. We chatted for a half an hour and then packed up. And when I got home it was perfectly clear. We were joined by three people who were at Oak Grave the month before, and three of my students showed up.

 

Next week are two options, it’s High Altitude Star Party week and Oak Grove week. Peddler Hill and Shot Rock are closed as per the El Dorado Nat’l Forest, Iron Mountain is burned out, so the Heliport is it for the hill climbers, and Oak Grove for the docent crowd.

It was very smoky up here at Pinecrest, but Doug and I were able to show a fairly decent crowd of Girl Scouts Jupiter and Saturn. We had a blast

Bill & I  were able to pick Jupiter &Saturn out of the smoke last night.
We had about 3 dozen Girl Scouts and other Pinecrest campers that hung out with us until about 9
About 8:30 I was able to eke out Andromeda in the binos and M 57 in my scope...They thought M 57, "The Ghost Cheerio",  was COOL.
Go figure

Glad that you and Bill had a good time viewing the heavens last night. 😊👍

Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all.
