I really enjoyed tonight's meeting. Good job to all! I would like to get a copy of the DVD that was shown. Can someone post the title and where to get a copy? Working second shift prevents me from attending all of our meetings and this meeting was chock full of interesting stuff including info about RTMC event, mirror cleaning and the trip to the Lowell Observatory. I'm glad I didn't miss it. Thanks, Larry

Regarding the recent thread about SLAS meeting topics, I got official permission at tonight's SLAS meeting to include upcoming meeting topics in News. Plus the SLAS president said he or I would post the info here on Utah Astronomy. Patrick

Planets

22 Apr '03

At about 9:00 pm MDT from my eastside suburban front yard I got a good look at Mercury; Saturn follows with Jupiter at about the zenith. I remember reading about viewing Mercury in a recent S & T; finally have a clear night to catch a peek. Could be time for another sunset party at Chruchill Jr High if anyone is interested. With the easter holiday I will probably set up my binos monday evening there.... Joe Borgione --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

It seems we need to add Ken's e-mail address to the Utah Astronomy list so he can get some of the feedback that's been kicked around. Anyway, here's the response I got.

RE: [Utah-astronomy] 8" Refractor Telescope
by Kim Hyatt 15 Apr '03

I've asked Ken numerous times over the years if he would be willing to part with the "other" 8-inch refractor - he's never been interested. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Watson [mailto:brentjwatson@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 10:25 PM To: Astronomy in Utah Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] 8" Refractor Telescope Ken has the 8" Louth and an 8" Brandt. The Louth is f15 I think, and the Brandt is f13.3 like mine. He got the Brandt first. It would be good if someone could purchase that scope from him and get some extraterrestrial photons transmitted through it! I don't think he is willing, though.

8" Refractor Telescope
by Karen Pierce 14 Apr '03

We received this email from Craig. Does anyone know about this scope. It is before our time and would like a reply sent to Craig. Deloy and Karen From: "craig betzina" <cbetzina(a)msn.com> To: <starpartiesrus(a)utah-inter.net> Cc: <cbetzina(a)msn.com> Subject: 8" Refractor Telescope Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2003 09:01:19 -0600 I hope you can help me. I am trying to locate the person who owns a 8" Refractor which was purchased from me back in the early 1980's. I know it came to the Salt Lake area. I was in Seattle at the time and now live in Denver, CO. It was made by a Master Craftsman named Howard Louth. It was a classic 8" F15 with an equatorial mount. It was a fantastic scope and I would like to know how it is being used. Thanks. Craig Betzina 2000 S. Cty Rd 193 Byers, CO 80103 303-822-5417
