Rocket launch tonite!
Apparently there's a launch at Wollops at 8:31 PM.

Re: Battery pack
That is a good price Jerry, I'll have to see if it would fit my (4) 10 AH batteries. Was the ammo box metal or plastic?

Re: Local 2023 partial solar eclipse
I agree, Vermont in April is a difficult place to count on clear skies. Turns out a friend from elementary school that I have kept in touch with lives right outside of Dallas and he thinks of April weather as generally being clear and stable. I will have to investigate this further...

Re: OK, This Baffles Me...
Probably the "secret" space plane- Bob M and I saw it one night and it zigged and zagged. No idea how they do it...

Re: NGC 891
