Hi all,
And thank you for the well wishes.
We arrived here on Sunday to clear skies. Soon after sunset,
we were looking through Larry Mitchell's 36". M51 in a 36"
is one of the most stunning things I have ever seen in a telescope.
Andrew, John and I were also there when Al Nagler plugged his
new 100 degree FOV 13mm Ethos eyepiece into a telescope and
observed deep sky objects. We were then in the first handful of people
to look through the eyepiece under the skies. And it is one brilliant eyepiece.
Foul weather has set in and we are hoping for it to clear but it looks
unlikely. However, the social interaction is what we are really enjoying.
I gave a talk a couple of days ago on the Argo Navis TPAS system
and Andrew gave a talk tonight on the LMC that was really well
received.
Best regards
