Re: (meteorobs) Murphy's Law - Leonids 2001
Yes, Murphy or the gremlin found me too!
So, here I was with many members of my club (Bucks-Mont. Astronomical
Assoc., Inc.) watching the
Leonids from our favorite observing site ( Van Sant Airport) located in
northern Bucks County when
I went into my car and decided to change my film. You guessed it!
Something went terribly wrong.
Just as I was rewinding my film..dot it broke! Luckily, I had extra film
handy and some of those did come out...well sort of. You see the Murphy
or I prefer to say Murray gremlin is pretty smart...he made me forget to
make sure that my 50 mm lens was perfectly focused!:(
So, I did catch some Leonids...But...they and the stars are nice and
blurry!
