Dark Skies, Good People

We had nice weather in San Antonio over the weekend too. Saturday evening was a club outing to a dark sky site. The weather and the company were great. I was able to finish off the December portion of the Herschel list, as O'Meara has it programmed. I am now up to date, having finished up September to December. There were some long star hops in the December list.

I spent the rest of the time in my binocular chair, doing a mini Messier Marathon of the available objects.

By morning, what had been a moderate dew, had frozen solid on my dew covers.

All in all, a nice observing night.
