Hi John,
At the same time in 2007, the
furthest south that I managed to observe
Van Robinson
was in
Ojinaga, Mexico.
I also made a good sighting in
Marfa, Texas and some suggest that
Van Robinson
might somehow be connected with the mysterious
Marfa Lights.
The last confirmed observation I have in my log was at Flagstaff, Arizona
when I caught my final glimpses of
Van Robinson from the airport car park.
Now and then I read about recommendations for eyepiece cleaning solutions
and to observe
Van Robinson some recommend giving the glass in the eyepieces
a thorough and careful cleaning with a good quality alcohol such as Makers Mark.
