[Lvas] Mt Charleston

[steve.farinella at unlv.edu]

Linda, my daughter Christina and her boyfriend ventured up the mountain 
Sat night. Although the seeing wasn't that great do to stuff in the upper 
atmosphere we were able to catch the Stargate and Beehive Clusters and of 
course Saturn. I couldn't focus an image using my 6mm eyepiece on the SE 6 
however, using the 25mm itself and with the Barlow produced some nice 
images. I wonder what kind of images I would have gotten if I had, say a 
34mm eyepiece? There were about 8+ vehicles and everyone seemed to enjoy 
the evening. No wind but the temp was around 48 degrees. The girls got a 
bit chilled so we wrapped it up about 10:15 or so. TNXSF
