At the Robert Ferguson Observatory in the Valley of the MoonI was up there to view “Minor Planet Antink” (Thanks, Lynnelle Ye!!) in September, 2010.
On the wall is a plaque dedicated to my brother—he was instrumental in founding this observatory.

My sister-in-law, Asata Gabrielle, and my brother, George Loyer, with their dogs—we were up at the observatory as part of a viewing party—hoping to see Planet Antink by 2 am.

Husband, Bruce, hiking around the observatory—beautiful hillsides—great viewing--we were just waiting for the sun to set.

Just hiking about—waiting for the sun to go down—so the star show could begin!We saw tons of shooting stars! But Planet Antink didn’t rise until almost 4 am—and
dawn broke. Dang it!
