AHHHHHHHHH... We're all gonna die! Everyone run and hide.... the moon disappeared. The Gods must be angry.

Actually, I looked at it a few minutes ago... All gone, just a faint disc in the sky. Pretty neat!

Nighty night!

Sorry Chris - I just couldn't resist! It was actually sunny the day we left Seattle and we had great weather all the way until just south of Portland.

Is it clear enough to take a F'in picture in AZ? I think not!!

Seattle, cool, clear, light wind, and it was SUNNY today. Drove Blair up to Three Tree Point to get GTI parts, good stuff like 2 good door handles, window cranks, h2O temp gauge, a shift knob and what ever we could fit in out pockets.

That pic was taken with a Nikon 5000 on a tripod.

Well... actually it is quite clear enough to take a picture. I just didn't happen to do it. Here at 7,000 feet we've got such clear air & so little atmosphere that we've got Lowell Observatory right in town.

Yep, I was there last year and went and did the tour and looked at some far away stars. I liked the city alot! Shopped at the little stores downtown, took pics of the train and stayed in a B&B. I couldn't get Monique out of one store there for about 2 hours! I was bored big time. We ate a nice place too but I can't remember the name. I liked Flagstaff better than Phoenix although I enjoyed meeting Brad Anders and talking Djet for 2 hrs!
Monique and I are planning to return and stay at the Biltmore in Phoenix, the hotel designed by Frank Loyld Wright. I liked Sedona alot too with the red rocks. Did some hiking in the heat there!!

you have no idea.

(actually, that's why I've kind of given up on the backyard astronomy).
Not only do you have to be patient, but you have to be a masochist who does not need sleep as well. Sitting for 4 hours waiting to see something, anything, in a fairly vigorous meteor shower is one thing. Sitting for 4 hours between 11pm and 3am, when it's 30 degrees outside and you have to get up for work at 5:30 is quite another. It's a brand of insanity I reckon I've been cured of by now.

I can't even imagine these guys who spend upwards of $10k on a telescope, and sit around every night for months, spending upwards of $500 a night on photographic plates, trying to discover the next comet or asteroid that turns out to be a stray Russian booster.
