See it on Tours:
hat a great night on Mauna Kea!!
Lots of thick clouds plagued our ascent up the mountain, but it was wonderfully clear at the summit. We enjoyed a great sunset and saw Venus on the horizon. On our way back down we noticed clouds at the VLBA and decided to stargaze at 13,000’. It was nice and warm for that elevation and there were many ooo’s and awww’s.
Objects sighted: Moon rise, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, Alberio, Omega Centauri, 3 meteors, 1 Satellite and 1 Pueo on the way home.
Thanks to Blake and to everyone else who wondered with us.
