Anza-Borrego Observing Report

Here's link to my recent trip to the southern California desert for a little observing. Vince

Vincent,
As usual, another great report with sketches to match!
I observed Hubble's variable nebula a few months ago with my 16" dob and this object alone was worth the price of admission!
With all of the poor weather we have encountered here in California during new moon, your report helps satisfy the craving for DSOs, if only for a short while...

Vincent,

Anza Borrego certainly is an excellent place to star gaze. We're headed to Blair Valley in a few weeks and I can hardly wait.

With all the rain we've been having I was wondering how the desert bloom was going. I've heard it will be early this year and have been checking the Anza Borrego web site for information but can you offer a first hand report? Did you get a chance to drive through the lower part of the park?
