I just learned that there's a guy in Tooele who has a cannon that he uses to shoot bowling balls "out of sight". Just guess we ought to make sure Brent's plane is not overhead when we fire the cannon... :-) Patrick BTW, with the skies clearing, remember that Saturn is passing through M1 tonight.
Hi all, No sign of M1 at 10:30-ish MST (washed out by Saturn's glare), but Saturn looked spectacular even in my little 6-inch Newt. Cranked up the mag. to 188x and Cassini was plain as day, Saturn itself showing plenty of surface feature details. If you're still awake, check it out!

I'm *trying* to get pictures. Must have shot a couple hundred so far. Unfortunately the seeing here isn't all that great. Will keep trying. Patrick Richard Tenney wrote:
