Yes, we were near the model port. I like the location too. I have always looked at deep sky stuff from there. This is the first planetary observing I have done from that site, but my recollection is that it has been pretty steady in the past. Brent --- David L Bennett <dlbennett@mac.com> wrote:
Brent, where on the strip did you end up setting up for Columbia? Near the model plane ports? I really liked that site and wish we had ended back there for the Leonids (though the fort had its own charm). It sounds as if you had exceptional seeing that night as well. Do you think it's fairly common for the site? Dave

We were at the old emergency airstrip southeast of town. It is not on the mesa, and is used today as a drag strip and model airplane model port. I understand that some use it for emergency landing practice, and that a light aircraft will land there from time to time. It is in really good shape, except that the east end has a fence down the middle of it and there is a line of telephone poles along one side. There is still plenty of room for us little guys.
