Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

At a recent wedding, I celebrated but was careful not to indulge in the bortle, er, bottle. Things nevertheless ended up a little hazy, and so I'm giving a nod to a simpler time, when I wrote up GC1K947. If you solved that one, you'll solve this one. Keep an eye on these hazy products:

A. The Triangulum Galaxy is a direct vision naked-eye object, the Triangulum Galaxy is easily seen with the naked eye.
B. The zodiacal light is visible and colorful, airglow is readily visible.
C. The summer Milky Way is highly structured, the summer Milky Way still appears complex.
D. The zodiacal light is visible and colorful, the zodiacal light is striking in spring and autumn (color is still visible).
E. Many constellations (esp. fainter ones) are barely recognizable amid the large number of stars; M15, M4, M5, and M22 are naked-eye objects.
F. Limiting magnitude with 12.5" reflector is 16.5, limiting magnitude with 12.5" reflector is 15.5.
G. Clouds are only visible as dark holes against the sky, surroundings are barely visible silhouetted against the sky.
H. Limiting magnitude with 12.5" reflector is 16, limiting magnitude with 12.5" reflector is 16.

Cache is at N 38° 3A.BCD, W 121° 4E.FGH.
Wishing all geocachers, their families and friends a happy Valentine's Day!
