There is no such thing as too many marguiritas. But no, I drink rum down here... 



Its from a Jimmy Buffett song.

I believe Peter is cleverly telling us he’s on vacation in “the islands”.  This is well earned time off as I heard he worked “really hard” one day last year.

george, been lousy weather, and hard to take any good images when the wind is howling, shakes the scope, and blurs the image, even in a dome,

How come there has been no mention of Lulin on here? 





Did anyone see it last night?  It passed very close to Saturn.  It was visible nicely in binoculars (7x50).  I couldn't tell which way the tail was pointing (left vs. right) but I could see it wasn't round but instead elongated like a fat hyphen in the proper orientation.  I recommend it tonight (should be clearer tonight).  Attached is a chart of where to look.  Basically you should still be able to see Lulin and Saturn just barely in the same field of view tonight.  Try after 9pm because it rises around 7:30pm and will be very low before then. 





If you don't want to brave the cold weather - try it from inside the house.  I was able to find it the first time from inside (but went out for a better look).
