We just finished another great weekend at Camp Timberlane. We had our service unit campout last weekend and it was perfect weather!! No real rain during the day. The clouds waited until about midnight both nights so we could use the observatory. We had a nearly full moon for the night hikes. Oh and did I mention that the food was great?!
So I was in charge of the observatory and I helped out at archery. The latter I won't comment on, but the observatory???? WOW!! We looked at Jupiter and 4 of its moons, Andromeda (M31), a planetary nebula (M15), Lagoon Nebula (M8), and others that I tried and couldn’t get to look good. Totally forgot M57, M44 but that's what I get for not remembering my star chart and going by memory!
