You missed it because Kim was doing some kind of a chant and muttering something about "...may thoes with new Apogee 20X80s have couldy skys for a month". It must have work. Look outside righ now. We have beautiful blue skys over Dugway.

I got up at 4:00 am to try and see Mars pass between M-8 & M-20, but of course it was too overcast. Thought it would be the perfect opportunity to put the 20x80's to the test.
Did anybody else manage to see this event?
Mars will still be roughly "between" the objects tomorrow morning, though it has passed the halfway point.

There is a corrolary, namely that if you DO manage to defeat the odds, get to your site and the sky is perfect, you will have forgotten your eyepiece box, power cord, or some other critical piece of equipment such as toilet paper. If by some chance your friend shows up with your eyepieces, an extra cord, and plenty of TP, you'll get a cell-phone call that your house is on fire.
