The November
5-6, 2010 star party at Keota was well attended. Friday night was evidently
the
best night and
plenty Dark Sky Marines enjoyed the heavens. Some of the attendees were
......
Commander
Gary G. after he finished chopping cactus.
Robert G
and Bob from LasVegas,
stopped by on his way to a hunting trip up in Wyoming.
Then David
D. with his 4" Unitron.
(Randy C. was there in Oct.)
Dave and
Jim
Later our trusty Astro. Leauge Coordinator, got there and did some digital imaging....
Vern setup
shop
Bill P. stopped by,
hadn't seen him for a while, and said
'Hi' to
me.
A grandfather,
father, and his two kids stopped by wanting to learn some more astronomy.
And then some
unknown driver pulled into our field with his truck lights on high, ruining
our night vision,
moved up a ways and ruined some other folks night vision and drove off
no one knew who
he was. I hate when that happens!
But otherwise it was a fine clear dark
night, except
for a 25* area in the Greeley/Denver/Longmont
azimuth. It was a lIttle hazy
there, but not
much of a problem overhead until much later in the evening.
Sunset at Keota
from October 2010.
A
nice Crescent Moon above 'The Rocky Mountains' are visible in the background,
from south of
Denver to about Loveland on the right. You can see the 'brown
cloud
above and east
of where Denver would be.
