Saturn can be seen in the east around 40 degrees high in the sky by about 9:30. You need a small spotting scope to spot its rings though.

Back in the mid 80's there were folks all wrapped around the "Harmonic Convergence" planet alignment and all it was supposed to bring. One of the
guys I was working with building a boat said he wanted off to go to Ojai for the weekend. Rob headed up there. When he came back we asked how his
weekend went and he told us it was OK but way different than he thought it would be. Rob thought they were having a "Harmonica Convention".

Howard - 5-25-2013 at 06:47 PM
How is the road from Highway #1up to your location? Is it paved all the way, dirt, graded or?
I drive to and from Loreto from So. Cal. maybe 2 to 3 times a year and always wanted to go up there.Loretana - 5-25-2013 at 06:51 PM

Muchisima gracias. astrobaja - 5-26-2013 at 08:30 PM
Great story Ed!
Howard, the road is paved all the way to the largest dome of the observatory, an easy drive!!
You are most welcome Loretana!BajaRat - 5-27-2013 at 09:03 AM
