C8, 8x56 binocs, and a broken Astroscan project. Klein Palomino Race for the dirt (New toy!). Last
night was clear in Salida, CO (dark skies, 7000ft MSL). My son and I got some good looks at Saturn
and Jupiter. Io's (?) shadow was visible on Jupiter's face, very cool. The moon was rising and a
high overcast developed just when I started going after DS stuff. Tonight should be clear though.
Looks like the snow from the last few days has melted (enough) on the trails east of town, so I'll
be on the new bike too. For one more "Get in touch with nature" obsession to ruin you check out

Clear Skies, Shawn

I've seen my share of "stars," in broad daylight even, don't know if that makes me an astro-ween.

I'm not an astronomy weenie, but I do like to look at the stars, and have seen several UFO's.

Shaun aRe not kidding.

Scopes & bikes:
Several of each.

10-90x90 binocs 3 60 mm f/10 ach. 3" newt ETX 90 Orion 104 mak
4.5" deep sky newt. 8" DS newt

My main ride, GT backwoods, carries me & my 104 mm mak nicely.

Right now I'm working on a trailer to tow a 16" with my bike. It's
gonna need a 10 hp motor, and I'll have to widen all my trails by 3 or
4 feet, but Mr. Rocco needs as little light pollution as possible.

No - unfortunately for the large masses at large, I am all too real.

Shaun aRe - And just as much of an arsehole in person as I am in here...

I try not to do both at the same time.

> how many astronomy weenies are also here/ jc

 

I look at the big dipper on night rides and try to equate the angle of the dip to my back garden. I
look at the rotational angle of the constellation in respect to the month I am in. Sometimes I hold
my hand up to the sky and hide the constellations imagining what could be on the worlds I block out,
then wonder where I am as I have not been taking notice and then wonder if someone/thing does the
same to our constellation and could they have seen my headlight. Then I wonder if we are just some
tiny bits on some tiny particle in for instance a fingernail molecule on some gigantic giant being -
maybe god and if he/she picks his/her nose would we be wiped out.. Then I get a grip and realise we
are not much compared to what may be out there. Ouch Kent "Mr. E. Mann" <[email protected]> wrote in
