Wonderful writeup!!!
A keeper for sure in my collection of other's observations! Thanks for taking the time to post them!
yes I mistyped. LEDA 1175364
Best view I had was early in the evening (IIRC) Saturday the 30th(?) before the sky went to heck.
It was on Alan's 24" Star Structure. There, me and Charlie Wicks saw 6070 and two companions.
IIRC...

THIS is where I was suppoed to post!!!!
Five days dudes and dudettes! Get on your horses!!!
GSSP! The darkest star party that is held during the SHORTEST days of the year!!!:D
Why wouldn't you...
Funny... I just figured out I posted to a 3 year old thread!
Ya know... I made trade the 22 for a shorty 20... :)
So what you are saying is I can just be yours and Bob's fan boy? And just bring a few finderscopes (aka refactors) for the heck of it?
With a 28 inch scope? Can I just leave the 22 at home and be your buddy all night?!
Und zo?
Whos a comin'?
Sold some stuff I no longer want or need.
Then order from Tak America a 9mm Tak Abbe Ortho.
I did so merely to see if some day, in the UC22, it might go deeper than XXX.
I have a few Fujiyama's...
These are great!
Who's go'in? I hope to be there with the UC22 if I can afford a rental van... or smaller stuff and bum photons if not.
Yes it is only 4.4 hours of darkness. BUT there are wonderful scopes to look through.
The people of Adin are friendly and happy to have us.
We have some fairly large dobs to look through.
Showers...
Hope to see some of you there. Very low key. No talks. No vendors. Just 8 to 9 hours of great skies. You can ply late Summer to Winter skies there. Indeed almost early Spring as the Zodiacal light...
Thank you. I knew of Andreas' site. What I have found beyond that is observations with 25 to 48 inch scopes. Hence my wording of doable in a 22. But I guess nothing ventured... :)
I will spend...
I have a 22 inch f/4.2 and am headed to CalStar in a few weeks. NELM is probably 6.3 or so. (not really sure but certainly not MUCH worse).
Can you point me to a list of 'doable' Shakhbazian...
SHOCKING!
Given the reliability of Skytools (1 through 3) as a program (I can crash it generally with 30 minutes) this comes as a great surprise. (not!)
Oh well. Off topic...
But then you have to use SkyTools... and I won't get into that here.
I don't get here as much as I should... But I've dropped by DSF to gather some objects in other threads for CalStar. :)
I have not figured out if my efforts are any benefit to anyone other than to...
Thank you. Mini-Van does sound like the right idea...
I have to mix in my other hobbies...
Any other opinions?
I would gather that many of you deal with transporting telescopes...
Some of you just ride a Polaris up the driveway... okay... lets RULE OUT that and custom vans/trucks
For those of us who are...

Yes I did. I love books. Even if it hard to imagine those pages under the sky. Just like Burhams. But like them, I had to have two sets. One for the library and one for the scope. In this case, at...
First off, you must admit, Alvin's legacy for observing guides is unequaled!
Before I create it myself, does anyone have Alvin Huey's amazing Galaxy Trios object list in a CSV, XLS, MegaStar,...
