Clear Sky Last Night
by Steinicke, Brett 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

I took my Nexstar-5 up to my in-laws last night, they live in Mountain Green. The skies were clear and we got some great views of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. I could see the cloud lines on Jupiter and Saturn looked great. After all that smog it was great to see again. It was very cold up there. Brett

My in-laws live in Mountain Green, I setup in their driveway. I had popcorn and ice cream with brownies. I had plenty of calories to burn to keep me warm in the 17 degree temperatures. I did move a full-upright piano upstairs with 5 others on Saturday.

Swap Meet ideas
by Chuck Hards 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

If it can be authorized by SLAS leadership, what does everyone think about holding the Swap Meet at Stansbury, at the SPOC-2 site? Chuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/

Swap Meet requirement
by Chuck Hards 14 Jan '02

I'll add one more requisite to Swap-meet site requirements: A rest room! I think anyone on the list over 40 will agree with me! Chuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/

sunspots
by Larry Frisk 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

Hi Brent, You have very good eyesight for an older gentleman. ;-) I had to use some magnification to see the sunspots that you were talking about. I counted 35 to 40 spots today. Five of them are fairly large and there are a couple of good-sized clusters. After I had observed for twenty minutes or so I tried to see the spots looking through a piece of Badder film and thought that maybe I could just barely make out a couple of them but by then the clouds were starting to interfere with seeing. It was well worth the time spent. I sure would like to have a hydrogen alpha filter because I really enjoy looking at the sun. Larry

Swap Meet

This post originally went to never-never land, I'll try again: What about Stansbury for the swap meet? At the SPOC-2 site, if SLAS officers allow it? Chuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/

RE: (utah-astronomy) Small lenses
by David Dunn 11 Jan '02

I agree. We should hold the swap meet further south this year. It would be nice to find a place near a freeway exit to that all of us from the north don't get lost.

Maybe you can make a trinocular? Sounds like there is some interest in eyepiece making, so I"ll bring whatever extra lenses I have on-hand to the swapmeet. I have managed to go home with an empty car these past two years, I won't have nearly as much stuff this year, due to job pressures and schedules, I haven't had much free time to make stuff. This will be a "raw materials" year, I'm afraid. I do hope to make a few more bino-brackets, but haven't yet found the right extrusion in scrap. We'll see what happens. Speaking of the swap meet, IMHO, we should hold it in March or later, what with the Olympics and all. I don't think we'll get the good weather we had 2 years ago in February, this time around. I also think it should be closer to the southern end of the Wasatch, since we've been closer the northern end two years straight. Let's hear opinions on this. Ron, are you still lurking out there? You're the "father" of this swap meet, after all! Chuck PS: Gary, my boss loves having the big scope here. It impresses our customers no-end! And he's used to my glassy, vacant "thousand-yard" stare! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

We can probably advertise the swap meet on the SLAS website too & put it on the calendar, as long as the SLAS officers don't object to that. I'll check with Siegfried (since I already know what Ken will say). Kathleen McCarthy SLAS Webmaster

RE: [Utah-astronomy] Swap Meet Location
by David Dunn 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

I like the idea of a Sun Party and Swap meet. I think that Draper or SPOC2 are about the same for those of us to the north. I am not sure if SPOC2 is any closer to Utah County than Bountiful. I think that I would prefer to have the swap meet in March or early April and then make a trip to SPOC2 for a star party after it is complete.

Maybe landscaping, or cleaning-up and policing the general area. We'll have to see what Bruce Grim wants done; it's his call. Personally, I'm going to just buy and sell, see my friends, and maybe look at the sun.
