Hey Jane and Jim, Did you guys ever end up selling your 18" scopes?... I may know someone interested in one. Alvin [Non-text portions of this message have...
Hi Alvin, I think Jim sold his. He was asking so little it went like hotcakes. I haven't sold mine yet. A number of people have asked about it, but no one ...
I'm hoping that Fiddletown will be OK -I'm sure it will be damp- but IHOP would be nice. Probably snowed in, though. The weather looks like it might cooperate....
Judging from the responses from Randy and Jane, I guess there must be lots of heavy-duty "social committments" around now. Luckily for me, mine are scheduled...
... Actually Shneor, my reasons are not social. I've sold my 18" which is now partially packed. This means I'm scopeless, again. Not to worry though, I have...
... Thanks Shneor! I hope to have my new 10" finished soon. That should tide me over for a time. Of course, I'm happy to mooch views in that 22" beauty of...
... What! The Queen without a throne? Say it ain't so! Just remember Jane that nekid eye and binocular observing still counts. So Randy, does this make...
... Yup, without a doubt! Congratulations to Mars for this stunning achievement. ... I'm not, but I think anyone out late on Saturday night will see plenty of...
With the 30"? Shneor ... From: Jim Ster Date: 12/9/04 9:28 am To: tac-sac@yahoogroups.com Subj: RE: [tac-sac] Saturday Night Weather permitting; count me...
... I'm thinking probably not. After all the recent rain, I'm a little concerned that the road up the hill might be a little too snotty. I'm thinking about...
I called the ranger station to check on IHOP. Icehouse road is clear -it's plowed as needed - but Peavine Ridge is not. Otherwise, the snow is at least 2 feet...
A queen is a queen. A butterfly is a butterfly. Jane, they can't take that away from you. I just looked at Fiddletown for Friday night...nice! I have to ...
If I get a chance I'll head to IHOP late afternoon on Saturday. We (the family) can have fun in the snow if we can't get a chance to use the telescope. ...
... Based on Shneor's report, I'm guessing you will be able to get to IHOP-1 (the original and lower observing area), but not to IHOP-2 (the upper area on...
... Based on Shneor's report, you can probably drive right up next to IHOP-1, but I doubt we'll be able to actually drive onto the site without a 4-wheel drive...
I'm still planning to go to Fiddletown tonight, despite the worsening of the CSC forecast, especially for transparency. Wunderground predicts considerably...
Details to follow. Over 6 hours of very good skies. Carpe Noctem, Shneor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **...
Saturday night, Dec. 11 was the best night so far of the season. Skies were clear until 10:30, and then there were only clouds in the very low west and...
Moonrise is around 11 pm. That allows almost 5 hours of observing. I just love these long winter nights especially when the weather cooperates Clear Skies, ...
I contacted Attilla Danko about the inaccurate hunidity forecast for Fiddletown last Saturday. He forwarded it to meteorologist Allan Rahill. Here's what Allan...
