Good but short evening at MB 6/30

by Richard Crisp


I joined James Turley, Jeff Crilly, Glenn and Rhonda (with that gorgeous red new retro-tbird) up at MB on Sunday Evening. Jay F. even showed up too.

I had a good time doing visual work with the TV101/Gibraltar.

With the help of JT and JC, I was able to bag M13, M92, M57, M51, M20, M8 and the Swan. I enjoyed a very bright Venus too as the sun was setting. I left by 11pm as it is a work day on Monday (ugh). It was very pleasant up there, the temperature was probably in the 60s to maybe the high 50s. The seeing was not all that steady, maybe a 6 or 7 or so. It was quite clear and the Milky Way was prominent.

It was really nice to get out again and cirulate with the group. Maybe I can slip out on Wed to Coyote with the imaging gear.
