LSA OR for April 15-18

by Phil Terzian


A small group of us headed down to LSA late last week for a multi night camping and astronomy star party. In attendance were:

We arrived under cloudy skies and only had occasional breaks. We could observe for a couple of hours on Thursday night and a couple of hours on Friday night before the scud came in and obscured everything except the planets...and even those at times. I did not stay for Saturday night, but the CSC said things should improve slightly. Maybe one of the others can amend this report.

I took a few photos of the party: http://www.pterzian.darkhorizons.org/LSA%20imager's%20ball.htm

I was only able to get one astroimage, and even that one was cut short by incoming stratus, so its kinda grainy. Oh well, still had a really good time.

Looking forward to Shingletown.
