Nice evening at MB

by Pentti Kanerva


Fine recap by Sander! I nearly copped out after a tiring day but am glad I went.

The air was about as steady as I have ever encountered, judged by the clean split of Izar (Epsilon of Bootes, mags. 2.5 & 5.0, 2.9 sec. apart) in my 5-in. Mak at 220x, and by the clarity of Jupiter's red spot--had fun seeing it advancing in the course of the evening. Although the Moon kept us company, no scope actually went that way.

For anyone who missed last week's picture of the globular in Centaurus, here is the address
