Brian and I went out to the Shroom, got to see Colleen and Lucia as well as Mark Lucia’s husband again. Chatted about issues we all have with the opposite sex, and commitment. Then the brother and I went over to Fry’s and then just back home.
Drove over to the Hooters Lw and had some beers with LaurenShaf, then AmandaH until I needed to get home so I could do some astro-Photography with the brother. Yes, nerds are us, we be nerds!
It got a bit chilly by 3am when we finally packed up back into the house. The light out front still really sucks and your eyes never really get used to the dark. I’d had quite a few beers and I couldn’t really get the scope polar aligned since my polar scope has no illumination, I couldn’t see where the damn circle was. Had a bit of a time trying to get the scope two star aligned, trying to find stars I could align on. I had set up the scope closer to the south side of the driveway so I got to see Saturn a bit longer than Brian could and although I took some shots I mostly just looked at double stars. Mizar and such.
