IHOP Saturday

by Marsha Robinson

Snooze, you lose! Nice night...the waves of crud drifted by, but when dark night hit, the sky opened up. Worked in Leo & Virgo. The most spectacular hit was the comet. What a beautiful sight with the comet being right below M44. Wow! With my 10x50 binos, the sight was worth the whole trip. I pray that some astrophoto person got a shot. Venus, curiously, was the best I'd ever seen earlier. I didn't know that with some crud in front of it, Venus is toned down enough to really view its beautiful thin crescent.

As Bill said it would (CSC), the crud came back at midnight and the 3 of us packed up.
