More Herschel Fun
Some more Herschel fun, anyway,
muchachos. If you live east of the Mississip, and especially below the
Mason-Dixon Line, you know observing in the spring is a roll of the dice.
Conditions can be nice for the
Virgo-Coma galaxies, but usually your results will be “mixed”—if’n you are
lucky. So it was for the 2013 Deep South
Regional Star Gaze Spring Scrimmage, the smaller, informal springtime
edition of one of our fave star parties. You’ll learn more about that next
Sunday, and you will also get a full report on Unk’s new C8, a Celestron Edge 800. But that is next Sunday, after ol’ Unk has had a
chance to rest up from his latest adventure. See y’all then—same bat time, same
bat channel…
Next Time: The Herschel Project Nights 41 and 42...
