I took the following image on February 10, 2011, from the LAs observatory, in Curby, Indiana. Unfortunately, for some reason, I didn't document this image, so I have no idea what planetary nebula it is. I'm postng a copy of this on the club web site to see if any other members know which one it is. I'm pretty sure it is a circumpolar object. In the mean time, I thought I'd post it here because, well, I think it's kinda neat.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
