Thanks for the comments. I really like it out there too, so peaceful. When the air is warm it's just a pleasure. Funny, I don't remember getting bitten much last year. I keep forgetting the bug spray and then once I arrive remember that I'm going to be eaten alive. I'm just learning to use my DSLR, so alot of my pictures aren't turning out that well, but I'm sure in time they will get better. I don't have any big plans to do much astrophotography with the Dob, but I am planning to buy a coupler for the camera so I can try it. Pretty sure I told you guys before, I'm a total hack :) On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 10:23 AM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:
Thanks for the pix! I really enjoy Lakeside -- except for the mosquito bites that are still itching, dating back to Friday night and Saturday morning! -- Joe

Hey all,
I was delighted to get a nice night out of town, and even though it was a little cloudy, I had a great time out at Lakeside tonight! I was able to locate Comet Garradd pretty easily, and fortunately that part of the sky stayed pretty open most of the night, so I kept going back over to it. Some meteor activity, with one I noticed as particularly bright. It was warm and pleasant all night, but as the moon sunk lower, more clouds moved in and pretty much ended it about 2am.
Here's some pictures:
