"We had a nice bunch of visitors, more
kids than last month at this time, everyone had relaxed fun. TAC has
a new enthusiast, Mike Ruddy, who hung out in 35 degree weather and
had a real good time. Has starhopping talent and a genuinely
searching intellect. Welcome, Mike. "
Thanks so much for the nod, Jamie
Pacheco was a great night out ... While Jamie was off socializing I commandeered the
Dob and practiced by finding a couple globs, M81 and M82, split Castor and stumbled
upon a couple of galaxies I couldn't begin to tell you what they were and managed to do
it all looking suitably amateurish.
thanks to the many who have put up with my questions:
Marek Cichanski, Bob Czerwinski, Albert Highe, Jim Bartolini, Matthew Marcus, Reverand Dave,
Steve Sergeant, and a host of other unlit faces.... the welcome has been warm of heart even if not
literally warm. Thank you all for the jump start! You have been more help than you may realize.
Looking forward to more starparties like you are looking forward to me having my own scope! :-)
Cheers,
Mike
