Today's NASA Briefing
by Patrick Wiggins 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Two things of note out of today's briefing. 1) The briefer noted they have received 132 reports of found debris in CA, 130 in AZ and 9 in NM but that none had been confirmed. He made no mention of Utah. 2) The picture mentioned in the Aviation Week article was shown. Some of the media has been playing it up as being "hi resolution". Don't know that I'd call it hi-res but it does show the shape of the orbiter and maybe there's "something" with the left wing but the image is so pixcelated it's hard to say for sure. No doubt the picture will be all over the TV tonight.

Joe, I see it the same way and wondered the same thing even before reading your post. The ring is not parallel with the belts. I'm also wondering where the top of the planet disappeared to. Siegfried Jachmann Family History Network Comptroller 801-553-8881

Off-topic: Weather stations
by Richard Tenney 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

A colleague at work asked me today about weather stations available on the Wasatch front (he lives in Kaysville); seems his mother is in the market for one ($400 or less). Anyone on the list know of something recommendable? I suspect the best deals are probably on the web, or...? Anyway, I figured someone here might be into that sort of thing. Thanx, Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/

2" 40mm Konig MK-70
by UTAHDEB＠aol.com 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Anyone own or viewed through a 2" 40mm Konig MK-70 made by University Optics. . At $200, it seems like a good deal. I was considering the Pentax SMC 40 XL eyepiece, but it has been replaced by the XW series. They newer Pentax eyepieces just don't fit into my budget. Debbie

OT: Thanks for weather station info
by Richard Tenney 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

I meant to express my thanks to all of you who've responded on the weather stations. Sounds like there are a lot of great options for very reasonable money out there. Apparently my colleage's mom has already made her choice, so any other suggestions would be merely to inform the rest of us that might have an interest. Thanks again, Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/

Jan S&T

Good stuff in new S&T...Webcam article, & a "sneak preview" of the review on the Orion ED 80mm APO. They hint that it lives up to the hype (but we already knew that...) Excuse the brevity, I broke my right hand on Saturday and am now a left-handed typist. Can't type at length, call me at home if you need to discuss something.

Dark adapted eyes
by Jim Gibson 25 Nov '03

25 Nov '03

I have been reading a little about the importance of dark adapted eyes. It seems that being out in the bright sun may cause your eyes to take longer that 24 hours to reach your full sensitivity to darkness. Has any one on the list read anything about what a computer monitor does to your eyes in terms of how long the effects last before your eyes recover for dark sensitivity?
