"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools."
--1921 New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work.

"Correction: It is now definitely established that a rocket can function in a vacuum. The 'Times' regrets the error."
NY Times, July 1969.

I hate to be repetitious but I had to go back to the Elephant Trunk in darker
skies. Here is a latest attempt at IC1396 from a dark sky site.

It was only about 48 minutes of Hyperstar with the Meade 14 and QHY8 before the
rains came. I auto guided 24 subs at 2 minutes each.

Clear Skies,

Not really pleased with this as I was only able to get 78 minutes on this.  I will try again soon.
