Hi Florian,

Thanks for posting your stargazing report! Some of my best sessions
have been of that simple, casual, no notes variety. Notes can add as
well as detract from an observing session. Everything is a
compromise!

Some night I would like to get far enough south to see Omega Centauri
and many other southern sights. Part of my philosophy in working
harder to see more from my northern location is that when I'm done,
I'll have a much better excuse to go south :-)

So just where is Joshua Tree National Park?
