Lake Sonoma last night

Bill Cone

Steve Gottlieb, Greg LaFlamme, and myself had a warm and 'uneventful' night at Lake Sonoma last night. Moderate transparency, clear dark skies, and good company. A bit of dew and a slight breeze were about it. Seeing was good early in the evening, and went downwards from there. By 11:30, when I called it quits, Trapezium showed 4 hard boiled eggs sizzling away. I studied one Abell galaxy cluster (347), continued logging clusters and associations in M-31, and was able to pick out 4 globulars in the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy. I'll write up an OR soon. It was a very nice midweek session, a successful attempt to get one more observing night in before the moon gets too bright. The weather looks good. Get out and observe!
