SVAS night
Eric, Ken, thanks for the wonderful night. I must say, I was quite impressed with the rapidity and density of that fog. It was like someone hit us with fog mortars, it came in so unexpected. But we got some splendid views in before that. First time I'd really seen the Coal Sack. It was an almost religious experience.
Now, onto more important discussions:
Eric, as I pointed out, M13 is the premier glob for us northerners. It is clearly greedy for you folks to keep both 47tuc and Omega Centauri, AND both Magellanic Clouds. Come ON, guys, where is your sense of FAIRNESS, eh?
We Northern Hemisphere natives demand that you surrender one of each.
We are willing to negotiate. We can part with either M51, or M31. M31 doesn't fit in most telescope's FOV anyway.
Were it in my power to do so, I would also toss in Britney Spears for the sake of the deal. I thought I could escape tabloid news about her when I moved here...I clearly didn't move far enough. I suspect Charon isn't far enough...
When is the next SVAS night? Any planned for July new moon?
Scott
