Great sequence! -----Original Message----- From: Richard Tenney [mailto:retenney@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 2:14 PM To: Utah-Astronomy Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Terrific Mars images... ...taken through a humble 6-inch Criterion RV-6 Dynascope no less using a digital web cam: http://home.austin.rr.com/campbelp/mars.html The really interesting thing is (aside from the quality of the images) is the rapidly growing size of the planet. I posted this yesterday but have no idea if anyone saw it given the problems with xmission. Apologies if this post is redundant. Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

OK, I just hope people don't think it's a really hot image or anything -- just my first try with Mars. I hope to make some better views this week. Thank you for your interest -- Joe Joe Bauman science & military reporter Deseret News bau(a)desnews.com (801) 237-2169

25x100mm binos on-sale
by Chuck Hards 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Apogee has the 25x100mm binos on-sale for $249! I got to examine Jim Gibson's a month or two ago, and was impressed by the fit and finish...no plastic here. These are hefty, 10-lb. units. A tripod or parallelogram is mandatory unless your name is Bruce Banner. I have not used them under the stars. Jim, can you comment on performance? Time to cash-in my aluminum cans!

I won't be at tonight's SLAS meeting
by Richard Tenney 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

My wife scored two free tickets to the opening of "Sea Biscuit" at the Gateway. I understand Debbie Whitaker will be there (driving up from St. George, think she's tired of the 110 degree fun) with her new digital camera. I am planning on being at Wolf Creek Friday night with the 16-inch, weather permitting. Anyone else on the list coming up that night? Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
