I spent the night with my son this last week there and got to view more stars than I photographed...it was cold, very cold.. The moon and Venus The moon, Venus and Fomalhaut(?) form a triangle. AN airplane flew thru sky during the photograph Cygnus, the Northern Cross, Vega is below. It seems centered in the Milky Way, -- -- http://www.sefcik.com http://www.darensefcik.com

I had my little 4.5" Meade out the other night and it was great viewing even with that scope. Maybe next new moon I can get the big scope (10") out there and show you some of the cool things visible this time of year. What do you think? It is a beast to take out but it is amazing to look through. David
