Join the Colorado Springs Astronomical Society, this Sunday evening (March
23rd) at Sky Sox Stadium for a Comet and Lunar Eclipse Watch. This is a
great family event, as we will be providing the Telescopes and the views of
both Comet Hale-Bopp, and of the 92% partial Lunar eclipse. We will also
be showing off other heavenly wonders (Orion Nebula, Mars, etc...)
We will be starting around dusk and will go until the eclipse ends.
For more information, either email me or call me...

| I saw it last night around 7pm. Too cool. I just wish I had some binoculors. liesl

| 2405.3 | they are coming for us... | CSC32::C_BENNETT | | Fri Mar 28 1997 11:18 | 3 |
| I saw it the other night - it kinda looked like there was a space ship
following it - they will be coming to get us soon. Lately I have been
getting this sensation to drink phenobarbital and vodka (yummy).

| On a more serious note, Hale-Bopp just keeps getting better and
better. It is higher in the sky in the evening and brighter. Should
be no problem seeing it with the naked eye even from within the city.
Even if you are not into stars&stuff it would probably be worth the
trip to get out of town where it's real dark. A chance like this don't
come along very often. Watch out for the UFO's though.
Trivia question: What current celestial even played a significant
part in a major Science Ficeion story? Name story and event.

| We went to Wilkerson pass last night to get a good look. There is no comparison
between what you see thru the lights of town and what you see out there. I'm
sure there are more accessible places without backlight, but we looked back
toward Colorado Springs and still saw the sky lit up from 50 miles west. If
this thing at all interests you (I'm not talking metaphysical stuff here), get
out to a point where you can see the stars really well. The tail appears to
be at least 10 times larger and is split into two parts. We had a pair of
binoculars and a spotting scope (20X-60X) and the binoculars were much better.
Find some really clear binoculars. I have another pair of cheapies that were
worse than useless. It's a unique show. It's no wonder people freaked out
when Halley's went by last century. In an era of little artificial light and
lots of ignorance (although they certainly didn't have a corner on ignorance,
apparently) the constant presence of the comet in the sky would be a much more
major event. Rich

| re; trivia question..
the event is Hale-Bop. the movie was called Life Force, explaining our
vampire myths. The first 20 minutes are, err shall we say mesmerizing.
