Jo: One if by land, two if by sea- three if by starship! I fell asleep and missed my 11:00 attempt. But at 10:00, my daughter was about a mile away, under moderate-to-severe light pollution, and most of her group could not see it. Her BF claimed he could barely detect it. I was aiming at Alcor & Mizar. But- I used to be really impressed with my 20mw. It was very bright to my eye, as such things go. It's going to spend a lot of time sitting on the shelf as a backup from now on. On Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 10:09 PM, Josephine Grahn <bsi@xmission.com> wrote:

Okay, I'm lying, but those things sound ridiculously bright! Must be time to order one... (I am in Boston, just did not actually see it...)
