Two Examples of Small Fuzzy Galaxies Gathered Together in the Sky and Vibing With a Hillbilly

Nice work Bryan! The way you were pushing that 12” around reminded me of the old visual days! Excellent report my friend!

Thanks, Ed! I'm working my way back into it. The peaceful pleasure of the star hop is a thoroughly enjoyable endeavor!

Yes, the title is great.
Even better is getting to read one of your visual reports. Lord let skies clear so the astro bard can be free!

Great shots too, Bryan. As much as the AP frustrates there are times it is worth it.

+1 for the sneaky Floydian Reference...
Nice job, Bryan!

Man, been awhile since I have read a report like that from you!

Super read. Great pics on the sn’s. I have yet to spot one or even try.

AP pisses you off. I can relate, but we love it!

Take care and thanks for the entertainment (and excellent photos). AP might piss you off, but you are pretty damn good at it!

Thanks, Steve! Astro bard! I like it!

I'm so stressed out lately I think a lot of stuff pisses me off. We had some rough network trouble today at work and it cause all kinds of issues. After that was mostly resolved, I had to find about $63,000,000.00 in cash letter data that was off in the ether somewhere. Finally got that located and brought in. I was telling one of my co-workers, "I'm am trying my level best to maintain the physical integrity of the blood vessels in my head!"

My boss overheard that and she said, "Are you doing ok today?"

"YES! I'M DOING JUST FINE. HOW ARE YOU?"

I need a day off.

Thanks for the report Bryan, can relate to not being able to find equipment when needed. Nice job on bagging at least one of the SN's visually and capturing both in images, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful Bryan - good to see you back out observing with the AD12 again, along with imaging deep sky with the 4"! As I may have mentioned before, I've not done any observing from home since April of last year. Only sessions since was binocular observing at the RTMC 2019 last year (after 51 years, that Star Party ceases to exist) and of course, from the outskirts of Brisbane, AU (with help from the locals).

I have a few vinyl Pink Floyd in my collection (e.g. Animals, The Wall), but the only one on CD and downloaded on my laptop is "Piper at the Gates of Dawn".

Been stressing from work more myself since I started showing up 5 days a week after my laptop crashed mid-last year. I just took off work today and will announce next week that I will work at home on Fridays - back to a 4-day schedule (now that I have a new laptop). Should make life a little easier.

Sorry, I thought I posted something a few days ago on this report but apparently I forgot to submit.

Thanks, Ivan! Much appreciated!

I used to run a pretty tight astro-ship as far as keeping things in the proper places and cases. I've gone a bit lax in the last year and need to get reorganized.

Thanks, Terry! Yeah, that's a darn shame about RTMC ending. While I understand their reasoning (I suppose), it seems to have been a well-regarded annual gathering from reports from yourself, Henk, and others.

As for work, I got a new department added to my realm of authority back in December. It has been quite eye-opening and educational. Good to get out of my comfort zone though. Fortunately, the team members there are great folks with excellent work ethic, so I'm just trying to learn the ropes to manage effectively and not come across like a ding-dong.

Knowing me, I'll come across like a ding-dong anyway. I had to tell the supervisor last week, "Please feel free to tell me to calm the hell down if I'm getting a little nutsy." He said, "Nah, you're good."
