Saturday, September 19, 2009 will be remember by many of us as one of those nights were the weather gods made up for a summer of rain, clouds, and fog. While a core of volunteers showed off the wonders of a great sky to over 100 atop Greylock, a dozen or so of us gathered on Arunah Hill to take advantage of the great skies.
Comfortable temperatures, low humidity, transparent skies, and improving seeing made for great views of the Summer Milky Way, Jupiter, and the rising galaxies of fall. Add to that two passes of the IIS, and an angelic apparition courtesy of a NASA sounding rocket... not a bad night.
