Hi Lew,
I have been so damn busy with the scope classes that I barely have time
to get onto the web anymore.
I have had Win95 problems, but it seems sorted out.
Thursday evening 21:10, while we were testing a 12"f6 scope, we were all
startled by a VERY bright meteor. The origin could not be determined,
but the TRAIN started at B Cetus and disappeared behind the hill.
I live on a slope , so my N?E horizon starts quite high.
It was quite a bit brighter than Venus, and we thought it was one of the
kids playing with a torch!!!
There have been a couple of reports about it, but none accurate.
Thought I would mention it.
My last class starts in 2 weeks...... Thank God!!!! It is nearly over.
Never agaain will I give classes.
Cheers and send regards to all
