I went out to the desert community of Kayenta last night with my 15 X 70 binoculars. We spotted Omega Centauri in the low southwest sky. We were amazed at how bright it is even at the low altitude. My buddy Ken took some pictures of it with his new ZWO camera. He couldn't stack them cause of problems with the low altitude. I will probably go out there tonight with my telescope and try to view it at 11pm. Night should be cool but not cold tonight. Amateur astronomy is alive and well in Southern Utah. Debbie
