[Lvas] Observing Saturday?

[Fred Rayworth]

Dave,
 
I understand your predicament! I however, will go to Redstone. It is only 42 miles for me where Lee Canyon is about 52 or 53 miles.
 
I went to Redstone last Saturday night and it was a killer night. I nailed 10 Herschel 2's, and found over a dozen other obscure objects I've never seen before.
 
Got to try a few other eyepieces and they were in the Nagler style, but none of them impressed me enough to warrant the ridiculous price.
 
Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers this Saturday will be better than it's looking right now.
 
Fred
