:-)) I may get more practice.. Or I might not.. I leave for Porterville tomorrow at 7 AM.. All packed with binocs, ST80 on EQ mount, full array of video equipment, etc. (Way more than I might need, as is my style).. Of course the boss man just told me I may have to work 10 hour days and that the superintendent is going to want to know why there is only two of us.. I HATE jobs like this. I'm a 25 year + Carpenter who has a tough time completing an 8 hour day. If I have to work 10's, I may only work and sleep.. We shall see.. I am prepared for high precision video or binoc / stopwatch observations.. You guys will be the first to know! Derek PS.. Oh yes.. I am taking some tools as well.. :-)) -----Original Message----- From: seesat-l-bounces+breit_ideas=poyntsource.com@satobs.org [mailto:seesat-l-bounces+breit_ideas=poyntsource.com@satobs.org] On Behalf Of Jim Nix Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2010 9:41 PM To: Seesat Posts Subject: JN 9633 obs May 30 Hi, 36514 10 015A 9633 P 20100530022243370 37 25 0852069+424671 59 S+035 10 36514 10 015A 9633 P 20100530022332160 37 25 1233893+695192 67 S+030 10 Notes: Appears to be running 1.5s late and 12' W crosstrack on 1049 elsets. (if west is below elset path at this locale). Attempted the NOSS 7's but murky skies still prevail here. Had to Laugh at Derek's comments on binoculars ;-) I am also trying out some 20x80's and they take some getting used to. I see many more "strays" than with the scope. (Focuser on scope broke, cheap plastic gears but it lasted over 15 yrs). I just recieved a focuser I ordered with a two inch barrel and adapter for my 1.25 eyepieces, all metal. Hope to increase the scopes FOV with some new eyepieces.
