Hi Guys.
Sorry to be so slow to put pen to paper ( so to speak ).
It was great to get to meet like minded people. The night didn’t go quite as expected, like missing out on some planetary observation, but I was still happy with the night. I’d like to thank Eric for showing me a few things, especially for showing me my first planetary nebula.
It’s been disappointing to come back to the murky skies of Tacoma South. I was able to see 2 of the Leo triplet through my binos at Bretti, but no such luck here.
I am hoping to have a look at Jupiter and Saturn tonight. I have no Easterly or even Northerly or Southerly views from my place but I have recently put wheels on the beast and it now sort of portable so I can now drag it up the street outside a neighbours place to see how it goes.
I'd also like to compliment Rado on the image.
Hope to see you all some time in the spring.
Michael.
