Tucson Rock&Gem Show

Posted By Linton Rohr
Took me a while, but I finally got some photos
of what I was able to bring home with me. smile
I'll start with a limited edition commerative
Brenham slice mounted in Lucite from an upcoming
show featuring Geoff Notkin and Steve Arnold.
This is from a good sized specimen they found
during the filming.

M78 - From Utah

Posted By Linton Rohr
Very nice Tyler, not that I know anything about imagining, let alone processing! wink
I like the dark lanes and faint outlying nebulosity.

Back from Winter Star Party 2009...

Posted By Linton Rohr
Nice shots Ivan, despite the difficult conditions.
I was again disappointed in not being able to make it.
Perhaps conditions will be great next year when I will be there. 8)

Wouldn't that be nice about now? 8O

Thsi takes care of your concern about "the purchasing power of the middle/lower classes"

I never got a job from a poor man.

Lockwood Valley Observing Session

Posted By Linton Rohr
You picked the better night to go, Rod!
I was too tired Friday and worked late to boot, so I didn't make it up until Sataurday.
We started off good, but dealt with increasing high clouds throughout the evening.
I woke up in my sleeping bag about 3:30 though, to a crystal clear sky with the Milky Way arching up over my head.
I thought about getting up and resuming observations...
for about 10 seconds. Next time for sure! wink

Any Good Binocular Targets this week?

Posted By Linton Rohr
Hi Lee.
Wow, there's a lot of good bino targets to view this time of year.
If you're out right after it gets dark, you should catch Andromeda and the double cluster before they set. The Perseus cluster around Mirfak is great in binoes. Same goes for Taurus. And the 3 M clusters in Auriga. Do I need to mention the Pleiades? Then swing over to Orion and be awed by all the stars in the belt and sword area including the nebula, of course. M41 and M46/47 are nearby in Canus Major. Then there's M35 im Gemini, M44 the Beehive, Coma Berenices...
That should get you started. smile

Bizzare trade offers

Posted By Linton Rohr
Funny you should mention it.
I just got a meteorite trade offer for an eyepiece I'm trying to sell.
Now, I am very much into meteorites as it happens,
but I seek out what I want and buy them from well known dealers.
And wine? Well, let's just say I've already got that covered, as well. wink
Thanks anyway.
