Hello -- I hope everyone's object bag is a little more full after the weekend. I had a decent go Thurs/Fri at Lakeside. For Caldwell objects doable from this latitude, I've only got NGC 2261 in Monoceros among those that should not be difficult, and then some that I maybe have no hope for: the Cave in Cepheus and the Bubble in Cassiopeia, and IC 1613 in Cetus -- these I have definitely pointed the scope right at many times, and I believe I have seen the Bubble and IC 1613, but am not ready to check them off yet. Also cleared out the rest of the Herschels in Auriga. I've got 8 more Herschels in Orion, one more in Gemini (where the moon was on Friday early morning), and two more on Camelopardalis. Since the moon won't be a problem tonight before the sun will, I'd like to go out. I'm posting to find out who's going to be out there that I might bother. I want to manage a little sleep, so I'll probably go out sometime around 1-2 am and start with the difficult objects mentioned about, which will already be up, and then start through Orion and Monoceros as the darkness allows. I guess that Lakeside and Knolls are options, although they put the city in between me and my targets. I think Knolls is less popular, so if folks are set up from evening at Lakeside, I'll probably not bother them. Wolf Creek would probably be ideal, as the humidity there will be lower, and it won't really be that much colder than is forecast for the west desert. But I've never been there, don't really know how to get to the observing area (can anyone give fairly exact GPS coordinates for this?), and I think maybe someone will be left there that doesn't want to be disturbed. Anyhow -- let me know if you're going to be set up already at 1:00 am at any of these places, and I'll not disturb. Thanks. ---- Rev.
