INDIANAPOLIS OCT 27, 1982 Some of you may have noticed the brown haze in the air. This is usually caused be an inversion layer, warm air trapped below cooler air. While this is not good for deep space observing it can causes rock steady seeing. Last night I set up Sundark, the famous blue telescope, and took an utterly fantastic journey across the moon. At 340x the image was razor sharp, a very rare event. To our friends in the mid-west, tonight the same weather conditions may hold. It is time to dust off those high power eye pieces and get some use out of them. Fred- BTL INDY
