telescope. It was probably one of the darkest and clearest nights in a
long time, but unfortunately, a group of around 20 high school/college
kids rolled in around 10 pm. They each had a very bright light and
they also started a campfire directly upwind from us. It really ruined
out night vision. They were loud and obnoxious, too, but that didn't
hurt our seeing, just annoyed us.
All in all, it was still very fun just to be out there and hang out
with Joe, Anne, Astro, and Orion. We found a new neat item - M103,
otherwise known as the Christmas tree, in Casseopia. It has the most
beautiful red star in it that looks like a bulb on a christmas tree.
Very excellant!
Here I am as we were leaving the next morning, on Saturday. We are
about halfway between the campground and the 10 freeway on the access
road that follows a drainage/wash. If you look closely, you can see a
tiny squirrel type creature on the rock to the right of the flat rock
in the wash. It is neat out here!
