In response to: Observing Report from BCA

Great report Ann
Friday we just had 4 of the usual suspects out, but Sat. what a great group.I'm not sure how many people were there, but I think it was 12, or 14, hard to tell in the dark. Despite the bright moon, a lot of great objects were viewed and eyepieces shared.New technology was prevalent as well, Joe had his new i phone 4, and I think I heard that there was an i pad present.All in all just a great night.

Hey Ann Great post!! I thought I already commented on it but realized I didnt. Superb AP results!!! Colours and details are very nice. Love the pinks and blues in the lagoon... something you don't see often but is certainly there.

I have to echo John's comments about your great report, and especially your newest collaboration with Paul - wonderful results again.

Hey thanks John! Greatly appreciated!! We couldn't be luckier to have such a location for our club to do astronomy.

Kerry, what an excellent report and what amazing images! I'm sure this will inspire more people to come out observing at BCA. Thanks for sharing!

In response to: Public Perseids Night at Binbrook

250 people! Wow! I wasnt able to attend the show on the 11th due to baseball, however the next night as fate would have it, the skies were perfectly clear. So, many memebers went out tot take in the showers with a great result, myself seeing 25 in an hour. This years Perseids were definitely a great show!

Great report, Don and a fine example of great minds thinking alike! Our two reports were posted almost simultaneously.

Thanks for the post Ann and I'm glad everyone had a good time with reasonably cooperative weather. Wish I could have been there.

Well, I didn't bring my camera, so I have no photos to contribute, but I can't imaging any being better than the ones you posted, Don. They're excellent!
It sure was a fun night, from the toys like Steve's bubbles and Joe's Light Sabre, (and Jim's camera!) to the collection of fine scopes for everyone to use. The HAA certainly can host a fine evening. Thanks to everyone for the great team effort, and thanks Don for the great report!

Thanks! I'd love to take credit, but that's just nature at work!

My goodness!!! THat shot looks amazing! I really love the contrast that you got with the sun partially lighting up the clouds... and the scene is just so serene and beautiful.

What a fabulous sunset. The clouds actually look nice (though they are ominous in some ways). I am delighted to hear about your success, and i spent the evening watching fireworks in Lynden.

In response to: Anybody up for McQueston?

Yes I had a great time. I was joined by Reinaldo and his son, who was looking for some help on a used telescope he had purchased from a friend.

We were there until about 12:30 when the cold and breeze finally overcame our will. His 9 1/4 SCT gave some nice views of Saturn and Albireo.

We are thinking about going to Tyneside on Sunday if anybody is interested.
