Anthony,

Great going, Anthony! Your perserverance and imaging skills paid off. This kind of event validates all our efforts. Thanks and regards from Northern Virginia.

John,

Thanks for posting. It brings back memories of the only spelunking experience in my life to this very cave in the early 1970's. I remember a watery passage called "Devil's bathtub", and many other interesting formations. Our guides were very mindful that we left the cave in exactly the same condition as when we entered it. It was also my introduction to "cave grot", which I still eat to this day partly because it brings back memories of my experiences in this cave.

Cheers,

For my location in Northern Virginia: average is 5, tops is 7. I have never seen 8, 9 ,10 in the 6 years since the observatory opened. I think the seeing is getting worse over the years. Transparency certainly is getting worse.

Cheers anyway,
