Is this like some kind of rule?
That says Northeastern observing (clear sky) is only possible
when the wind is howling, when the temp is at least -5d C and the Moon is full? -Rich |

Remember all those scopes that got sold just to look at Halley's comet ? There were probably a fair number sold just because Mars was really close last October too. I bought one of them. Problem is, I intended to keep using it afterwards. I guess I should have filed an impact statement with the EPA. Maybe it would help if I didn't have it set up in my living room and didn't shine it up everyday wondering if I'd ever be able to look through it instead if at it. |

I think it has something to do with winter. (^_^)

This hasn't been reviewed or published but I believe it to be the RICE or
Rich's Inverse Comfort Effect. It is an inverse square relationship between the positive possible views/square of the discomfort. jc "Rich" wrote in message ...

As of today, if it rains between now and 0600 UTC (about an hour from now) Vancouver will tie the record, set in 1953, for the most consecutve rainy days. 28. Ugh. Is this what I get for buying an apo last fall? As it was, the clouds parted for a while last night. The full moon precluded any of the big iron, so I bolted my new 4" Synta Mak to a camera tripod and pointed it at a few things from the back yard. It acquitted itself well: sharp images, good contrast. The Trapezium was cleanly and clearly 4 stars, no weirdness on Sirius or Procyon, the Cassini Division, cloud bands and a couple of moons of Saturn, and so on. Nice sharp mountains on the limb of the moon. Definitely not a wide field scope: the Pleiades looked better in the finder. A fine scope generally, and an excellent scope for what it cost. I hope to try it as a guide scope (what I bought it for - compact and lots of focal length) some time before summer. Laura Halliday VE7LDH "That's a totally illegal, Grid: CN89mg madcap scheme.

Is this what I get for buying an apo last fall? Dont feel bad. My son over at Ft Lewis hates training out in the rain ya all have had for the past month. To be honest, him and a bunch of other soldiers are now hoping that it rains for a couple of more days, JUST to break the record.
