Summertime, Summertime, Sum-sum-summertime!
What's better in summer than an old-fashioned Florida motel swimming pool, palm trees swaying in a tropical breeze, and junky travel food on the 4th of July? I'll tell you what's better, muchachos: hitting dim and distant galaxies hard with a C8 and a Mallincam Xtreme, of course. Unfortunately, the other part of the equation for this year's edition of our traditional July trip down south to the Chiefland Astronomy Village was clouds, clouds, and more clouds--not to mention torrential rain. How did it turn out, you ask? You will have to come back next week, same bat time, same bat channel to find out. As always when Unk and Miss Dorothy are on the road, you are being cheated out of your favorite Sunday reading material. To tide you over here are a few pix of summertime way down south...
Next Time: A Chiefland 4th of July...
