Observing Reports

Observing Reports are articles about trips to dark sky sites, star parties, public events, astronomical events that we have witnessed or imaged - if we were outside and saw something that we think you might find interesting it'll be posted here. This is also where you'll see the very latest images from our pool of hard-working astrophotographers.

Scopes ranged in size from a 3? inch equatorial to an 18" dobsonian. There was essentially no wind, a manageable number of mosquitoes, and the relatively low air temperature kept the alligators safely in the water. Dew began to set in after midnight, and we all packed up and headed for home about 1AM.
