McNaught second time on Saturday evening

by Jamie Dillon

What was really cool was that from Friday to Saturday, the tail had shifted. Measuring from the vertical line off the horizon, on Friday night it was at 1:30, then the next evening it had moved around past vertical to 11 o'clock. You could see that it was rounding the Sun!

Also cool was the company Saturday. Elena and Craig, the Rocket People, came for dinner and brought their little 2 1/2 year old girl, Ziana. A sharp funny little girl as you might imagine. Elena and Craig are the people with the 8 inch D&G refractor that has its own trailer. They used to show up a lot at the Peak, Dino and Coe. Lately they've been busy. I'd gotten to see Craig twice at Willow Springs but hadn't seen Elena in 3 years, and only knew Ziana by reputation. They're all doing great and say hello to all the TACos who remember them.
