8P Tuttle will Skirt M33!

Postby WCGucfa » Fri Dec 28, 2007 1:54 pm

Making believe it will be clear on the night of Jan. 30, heads up on Tuttle scooting the edges of the galaxy M33.
Here's a map of Tuttle's track for 21:00 LMT each night.

Yes. It's all the big deal on the Internet right now that Tuttle will make a pass of M33. However, weather is looking right now like it will not cooperate...even though for me, even long exposures do not show enough of M33! :lol: But I have missed several ISS passes over the Moon's surface due to clouds... :cry: See, guys? It isn't just the big public events that get clouded out! Much of Holmes later changes were clouded out for me...

I will hope for at least a sucker hole for you Bill!

Bill,
I think you mean Dec. 30th for this pairing. Lots of nice photos already posted on Spaceweather.com.
Clear skies,
Dan
