Jeff sent an email requesting help with the Astronomy 101. I had a couple of questions about the event. Is there power available? I can bring my c9.25 if you still need volunteers. Jeff, if you are on

The next ten days are prime Venus observing. The planet is approaching the sun so pretty soon it will be too close to safely observe the thinning crescent. Opposition is at the end of the month but

I rcvd a question off-group re: YRSP being canceled. I should have been clearer. The Park canceled Sat 1 Mar not primarily because of ‘mud’, but due to preventing likely damage (ruts) from our

?If we bring these to the next YRSP Obs Night, maybe Charlie will autograph this?! Wow, you just never know who will be in your mailbox. I guess Kent is next???

Ptolemy used that description for naked eye clusters a lot. That was pre-telescopic days and no0 one knew very much about the sky or the heavens. I think he did the same for the Pleiades which would

Thanks Ted, Cliff was a good guy and I went to many Cloverwatch sessions, and managed to annoy everyone with temp readings! v/r Chuck Jagow President – Dark Skies of the Wet Mountain Valley Member

I remember Cliff well – he was a regular at Coinjock ECSP’s. Always appreciated his wry smiles, wit and humor. I remember he had medical issues that prevented his attendance at the last years of

Thanks Ted. I had forgotten Clover Watch. Sigh, a long time ago. Also his planetary nebula program work. He was always a fun presence at Coinjock. A lot of water under the bridge.
