Thanks to the crew for another enjoyable camp. With Toph there I did not really get a lot of viewing done but it was really more about getting him out for the weekend. We ended up spending a good chunk of time sitting in camp chairs watching for meteors, and he spotted what looked to have been an old, tumbling satellite so something new for him. I should have taken down the time and location to see if I could look it up and work out what it was.
I still got couple of great borrowed views, the usual wow moments on familiar targets through some nice big dobs, and a great view through a nice big frac showing what sort of contrast you can get with no central obstruction, 100mm + fracs are not my usual fare at all.
