Dear Listees Truckee, California, is not exactly a desert but where I am (about 6 miles east of town on a bluff) at 6,000', the skies are remarkably clear. Last night, it was easy to spot NEAT just 30 min past sunset. By darkness and with an inredibly clear western horizon, it was an easy naked eye object. With binocs it was quite attractive just below M47. The S&T guide that Paul and Jim referred (and linked) to is very worthwhile in its (NEAT) location, especially if your viewing conditions are less than ideal. Regards Dave
