Dinosuar Pt Saturday Night

by Phil Chambers


Dino point was very good last night. No wind to speak of, good seeing early on deteriorating somewhat later. Had about 15 cars there. Imagers galore, great company, dark skys although it seemed to brighten about midnight. Bruce J was next to me and early in the evening all I could here was --- look at that! all those galaxies,,, etc. I looked over and it seemed he had his dob pointed at the back of his van. But no, the fornax galaxies were low to the south.

The temps were about 39 -36 deg. Minor dewing, a light breeze (very light) every so often just to remind you about wind chill. About the time the seeing was deteriorating It seemed to me that it got warmer.

Arrived at 4, left at about 1:15.
