Questar Instruction Manuals on eBay

Posted By Ernie Spragg
Is anyone besides me amazed at the bids the pair of older Questar manuals soon to end on eBay have attracted?

Bright, rainbow colored meteor

Posted By Ernie Spragg
I observed a bright meteor at about 11:18 pm PDT tonight from my darkened backyard in Fresno. It was moving n to s and was about 40 degrees above the northeastern horizon. Its path wasn't very long - perhaps 10 degrees. It was very bright - far brighter than Venus or for that matter any other meteor I've ever seen - but it was most remarkable because it burned in a rainbow pattern, that is, multiple colors at the same time, each one stacked upon the next. It left a normal trail that was visible for perhaps 30 seconds. It reminded me, upon reflection, of the unusual colored clouds that the launches from Vandenberg at sunset sometimes produce. The sky was clear and moonless, and it was about 83 degrees F.   I was with a second observer who saw the same unusual display. We were both impressed, almost stunned, by what we had seen. Ernie Spragg
