Thanks to Shneor and Jim

by Paul Haeokman

I'm sorry to disturb you all with head light when I got there. I figured that there would be many of you at IHOP 2, so I took my friend to IHOP 1 so that I do not disturb with big crowd I'm taking.

Then my electric focus had some problem, and I could not use my scope. I just could not take them home without showing anything, so I moved IHOP 2 hoping I can share some views with others. I met Shneor and he showed great deep sky objects with his 22 in. scope. Then I met Jim and he again showed us great deep sky object with his 30 in. scope.

I really liked M17 and M57 because I have only seen those in pictures. It was so great to see things with big scopes and I could show my friend what I have seen. It was the first time to see through a telescope for most of them. They enjoyed a lot.

Some of them will follow me again for next time. We had to leave early because it was a bit cold. Last week was so warm, so I did not tell them to bring warm clothes. Thanks again to Shneor and Jim for their generosity to share some of views. Paul
