Almost good night
Well, I uncovered the scope about 6pm and at 7pm I set out my telescope sign out
by the entry of the driveway. By 9pm mars was high enough to check it out, but the better viewing came after 10pm, and I sat in the folding chair and turned the ota so I could view the planet. No winds so the view was good. Spent about 20 mins, viewing the planet and fighting the stray lights, the park owner has gotten it in his mind that he needs to light up this place, so he's installed a light on top of the brick wall by the driveway entry, it's a good 10ft + high and shines all over everything, then the driveway lights that for the most part have been dead due to burning out light bulbs, now are burning all night as he's putting in those longlife neon type bulbs, so now the driveway which USED to be dark, is now lighted and me without anyway to load up the scope and get away. : I gave up by just after 11pm, pulled in my signs and went to bed, being sore from my trip yesterday. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn. But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go again." Arthur C.
