Re: Mel 111
Visual observing here has become an exercise in futility. I have been murked over with poor transparency for months, and on top of that my local light pollution has increased a lot due to a new grocery store and a truck stop. And then the rain...
I used to be a visual rock star, and now I am a mere shadow of the observer I used to be. Nowadays, me and 11 telescopes sit around and play poker and smoke cigarettes, just waiting on a clear sky.
