Fremont Peak, Saturday August 25 report

by Richard Crisp


Peter Natschler, John Worthy and I were up at Fremont Peak last night.

I was imaging and managed to get at least two decent images, which are linked below. One is M13 and the other is M81.

The weather was warm, was tee shirt and short weather until about 2am. The seeing was very steady, little if any twinkling.

The marine layer moved in after the moon set to blanket the lights from Salinas below.

It got a little wild about 3:30am when the drunks made their sweep through the park, but no one was harmed etc.
