For those of you who don't know it, Rob lives in Maui, Hawaii. I suspect he'd be happy to show you the good observing spots there if you want to go pay him a visit (he says the southern cross is visible from his house!). Rich --- Rob Ratkowski <ratkwski@maui.net> wrote:
While not an official star party, there will be a meeting of amateur astronomers at the Skyline Trail Trailhead parking lot saturday night. This is to the left of Red Hill Observation site and again left at the broadcast facility and then around the back of Science City. This location is at 9800', quite cool and free from wind and very dark and there are no facilities. Hope to see you there ...........
Hi Rich
This is what I sent off to a bunch of folks for this Saturday. I am taking my 12.5" up along w/ it's big pier and 100# of counterweights and the tools to establish a place to bolt it to the ground. And it looks grey outside ..............
I'm glad you all are having fun too.
Aloha Rob
