TSP 2005: Day 3

by Bill Drelling


Another cloudy night. Bummer. Enough said on that front.

One of the nice things about star parties is that there are always vendors ready and willing to tempt you with all manner of astro-stuff. So, most of my observing yesterday was in the vendor building. Al Nagler was there and I spoke to him a little while about his 2x Powermate. It is quite well designed. So, overcompensating for the clouds, I bought the 2" 2x Powermate along with the T-Adapter. It was a little pricey, but it sure made me feel better despite the clouds!

Anyway, tonight is looking a bit dicey also. Of the 3 TSP's I have been to, this one has had the most clods--and it is only Wednesday. For others that have been here more times than I have, it happens. Here's hoping for clear skies the rest of the week.
