Calstar 2003 - summary from the Scull perspective

From: Craig Scull (craigus@No-Spam)

Memorable views:
1. Everything I saw in the 30" - especially Perseus I
(Abell 426) which showed 15 galaxies in a high power
field (300x?), and M13 which showed two very interesting
parallel dust lanes midway out from the core
2. Seeing the 3 companions of 7331 in an 8" telescope
(ranging from 14.5-15.2 magnitude)
3. Seeing lots of cool meteors over the heads of all the
people I talked to

Thanks to James Turley for being my eyepiece godfather
who lends us the eyepieces we left at home or need to get
-- an Optilux 40mm in this case which delivered some
really nice views of the larger objects in the sky.

Thanks also to Alvin who gave us a 6pack of bottled water
so we didn't have to drink from the spigot.
