Round 2

Jan 18th

Today was a fairly simple day. Going to Summer Haven and observing.

Getting up around 12/1 :D, we got food and relaxed a bit waiting for the others to wake up. Once everyone up, we took a trip to Summer Haven. We made a few stops along the way, enjoying the sites. We were going to take a quick detour to see more sites but we lost the other truck and had to turn around. Later we tried to go back and they were closed down :(

Once at Summer Haven we made a stop to a small gift shop with Fresh Fudge :D There were scorpion/worm/chile lolley-pops and prickley pare candies. It was a nice little shop with some Good fugde. I wasnt going to get any first buut yeah :D :D Changed my mind. I only got a quarter of Butter Pecan and Rocky Road...both Very Good!

After the store we took another small hike. It was more of a walk through the town but it was still a decent haul. It was great too b.c once at the "end" of the road we were at....we just started throwing snowballs. Joe and Adam were far behind us and they started to lob snowballs over our heads so, naturally, we retailated. We threw some snowballs back till they got up to us. Then, Way behind us, was D.A and Erin. We got the evil idea to start lobbing snowballs at them. We made sure they were out of range but all of us threw a snowball at them. The snowballs pelted all over the place :P

From there, we headed back to the observatory, prepped everything, and hoped that the skies cleared. Well, they didnt really ever clear. Although it never Really got clear, there were a few clear spots here and there so we each got to chose an object to image :D It was great b.c you could just See how excited people were about it. We all got to image something and, I Think but dont quote me, everyone got a decent picture of theirs. I managed to luck out b.c there were only 2 of ours still left in the clear sky area once everyone was done. I went first and managed to get my NGC 1931 in both red and blue :D I CANT Wait to put it together and see what I got:D

Although we all got to image what we wanted, it was a sad day with a hazy sky almost all night :( I dont think anyone really cared....we enjoyed taking our images too much ;D :P
