Hi Lew,
This is Casper from the other side of the Pond. In fact just a little pond
(the Northsea) furher as Malcolm on the European mainland (The Netherlands).
Here we have standaard April weather for countries near the Atlantic Ocean
like Britain, Holland, Belgium, France, etc. Today we had dry but cold
weather (8 C) with sunny spells. Winddirection from the north-west. Our
last night was terrible clear!! An extraordinairy wonderfull polar nightsky
of which you only have a very few each year! I cannot express how beatifull
Hale-Bopp was shining against a ink black sky! Many, many astroguys have
taken lots of photographs during this best observing night ever for
Hale-Bopp. Including Romke Schievink and Carl Johannink who made the
wonderfull image of comet Hale-Bopp which you should see at the homepage of
the Dutch Meteor Society. Mind the fine details visible in the blue
gastail. We hope to have more of these skies in the days to come. Hale-Bopp
is now at its finest! Do not miss this opportunity!
I wish you, and all subscribers of the meteorobs-list, happy observing with
Hale-Bopp,
Casper.
