And when you mix in all the fun variables out there it makes for a wonderful night out without the need for perfect conditions! Now as far are his "less lucid" periods he may need some form of accountability. When I have these my wife says "send it back and give me your credit card"!<br /><br />I have both volumes of the "Night Sky Observers Handbook". Both have exhaustive Dbl Star lists and charts. Between this and the Cambridge I feel ready for bear!I love this Atlas!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Marc think we did a pretty good tag team on Mr.Drive By!<br /><br />Nice write buddy!Sidewalk Universehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095332891688108093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865036020787364523.post-65914039889253713642009-07-29T23:02:22.798-04:002009-07-29T23:02:22.798-04:00Marc, the SUGster has me thinking all crazy lately...Marc, the SUGster has me thinking all crazy lately with his infectious enthusiasm for astronomy. I had astronomy stuff getting delivered to my house that I didn't even recall ordering. Between his and your banter recently about double stars I guess I ordered the atlas during a less lucid period. <br />I'll blame both of you for me now owning this great double star atlas. I've been having a blast persueing the doubles when it clears in western NY. As you know its been pretty miserable for some time.<br />Looking forward to doing a VDSO(Virtual Double Star Observation) session with Nevada SUG in august sometime.Drive-by Astronomyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840989848668127603noreply@blogger.com
