It is sure nice to own the sky!

Perseus was high overhead, Orion mostly clearing the mountaintops, Capella gleaming brightly in the NE. It's amazing how... comforting it is in the calm of early morning to just throw your head back, look up and forget life's cares for a few minutes. I even managed to see a couple of faint Perseids as an added bonus. Sometimes it's just enough (and then some) to just get out and look up and enjoy. /Rich _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
