sky tour for Will (Blue Mountains)

10:21 PM, Saturday, May 19, 2013. We saw a Moon bow. A halo. Almost a full circle. Katrina pointed it out to me. We tried photographing it.

10:25 PM. We viewed Saturn.

11:48. Willy and Ostap arrived. I knew it was Willy, my advanced driving buddy, when he turned in the foot of the driveway and then cut his xenon headlights. Not many people can do that now.

12:54 AM, Sunday, May 20, 2013. Heard the coyotes in the distance.

12:56 AM. Coyotes again. We also tried to capture them on audio.

I showed Will some celestial treats including the Ring Nebula, Mizar and Alcor, epsilon Lyrae, the Great Hercules Cluster.

Couldn't find Ostap's spare POD key...

Ostap and Will departed.

We visited C/2011 L4 Pan-STARRS. Briefly. Very dim. The Paramount found it, based on a recent entry; I confirmed the location with SkyTools.

1:08. We parked the beast. The high clouds were just not letting up.

1:13. Wolves or coyotes.

1:20. Done. In the house. Set up the TV to to review photos.
