Mini OR for Dino 2007/01/12

Matthew Marcus

I went to Coyote and nobody else was there. Good thing, too, as it was a waste. It was so moist that scattered moonlight made anything dim impossible, the seeing sucked, and I got dewed despite using the Mark Wagner Special shield. I got the scope undewed after the moon set, but the sky didn't seem to get much better and the dew came back pretty quickly. I caved at 10:00. At least I saw Mars (no detail), Comet Holmes (the Comet That Will Not Die) and some eye candy. I looked at the Trapezium and saw a 5th star only intermittently.
