First and last night of winter observing in VT!

Deb Fennell All Messages By This Member #8102 开云体育 Had six skiing friends who are mostly neophyte astronomers? over for a couple of hours.? Mark pulled out the 17 1/2” Dob for its maiden 2025 voyage. We managed to have the first and last night of winter observing all in one night.? Mark gave our friends a night sky tour with the laser pointer and binoculars.? He then showed them the double cluster, M81, & M82, through the scope.? I set up the Seestar and at the end of our observing I showed our friends the Seestar jpegs of M81 & M51.? A perfect day and night of almost spring skiing and almost spring observing!? ? Deb Fennell

GEORGE BLAHUN All Messages By This Member #8104 Thanks for the Vermont update, Deb. Nice job on the Seestar photo and I’m happy to hear Mark is promoting NGC869 and 884 aka Double Cluster. George
