The Red Sox and the weather didn't provide much satisfaction for New England star gazers at the AA's Fall Aruanah Hill Star Party. We couldn't do much observing due to the wind on Friday night. My friend John from Douglas came up Friday night as did Kevin Collins, but the prevailing winds keep us from doing much observing.
The wind calmed down on Saturday, and we hoped to get some observing in. Dan Carnevale and some members from the Amherst club came up but no observing was done as the clouds rolled in after sunset. Another friend of mine Frank from CT also came up Saturday. We were prepared for possible poor observing which is why I brought a portable TV to watch the Red Sox. From the 6th inning on the Red Sox bats were as silent as the Arunah Hill night.
As John and I were packing up Sunday a dead tree at the top of the hill fell onto another tree. A while later another round of trees crashed down. We did a bit of cleanup, and I put some mothballs in a couple of plastic containers with vent holes in them in the telescope shed in hopes of keeping the mice out.
