[HiDARG-MEMBERS] Picture of the Great Conjunction

[Randy Tomer]

That's really awesome, Ray.
I was out at the east end of Rickard Rd taking telephoto pictures of the
two planets yesterday when
clouds suddenly blocked the view.  Then I realized I hadn't taken the time
to look at them through the
binoculars to just enjoy the moment.

73, Randy
