If they always go NW to SE, how do they ever get back to the NW so they can go SE?

Clear as mud to this ole coon, think about a mobius strip...... or better yet, the same way Columbus, Balboa and a few of those ole boys got to the east by goin' west.....mac (rhetorical answer)

Tonight's viewing! Not sure if I'll be able to see it unless I go to the southern part of the property. We'll see.

Time: Thu Oct 08 7:36 PM, Visible: 6 min, Max Height: 41?, Appears: 10? above NNW, Disappears: 11? above ESE

41* is still pretty high up. You should be able to see it.

[Rick]

We're in the Lampasas river valley and it goes uphill to the north of us. Some good size trees to the north may block the view.

The viewing should be better if I hop in the side by side and drive south across the field.

or just driving up to the top of the offending hill, crest or divide......but, yeow, the further south you go will cut down on your 'slope' angle.....mac

If the clouds don't clear, it'll be a moot point anyway.

[sojourner truth]

Clear skies in HH so far. Maybe we will get lucky. I still need to get a clear view of the North, as if I don't catch the thing when it first appears, I have a hard time finding it.

Rick, if you want to pull a fast one on the wife, pull out the scope and tell her you can spot someone waving from the thing. Or someone walking around inside with no clothes on.

[sojourner truth]

Well, the clouds rolled in and I didn't get a glimpse this time around... Maybe later.

[Rick]

LOL ya, I don't think it'll fool her.

We had a great view tonight. Almost no clouds, and it went right over the house.
