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

moon photo
by Joe Bauman 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

Hi Friends, if anyone is interested, here's a view I took of the moon through my little 8" Thursday night -- I would love to know what star that is by the right. It's similar to the photo the Deseret News ran with my article about the eclipse, because our photographer shot through my telescope. But this is one I took with a different DN digital camera than the one he was using. It's part of a series of views I made. Once I get a freeware stacking program working better, I may be able to provide a much nicer view. Best wishes, Joe Joe Bauman science & military reporter Deseret News bau(a)desnews.com (801) 237-2169

15x70's are back
by Richard Tenney 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

FYI Although the Sportsman Guide 15x70 Galileo binoculars were out of stock when I sent the last emailing out about them, a list member checked back today and they are in stock again. The total with ground shipping is $82.45 Chuck Hards also informs me that he still has 2 sets of Solar Filters for these babies leftover from his last e-bay auction; $25 a pair (it's a steal). -Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: [Utah-astronomy] 2 free Flagstaff openings for the Mars watch
by Holly Phaneuf 28 Aug '03

I just talked to Tim, and he's too pooped from his adventures in Africa to do more this weekend, so your tickets should go to more energetic folks. We'll watch mars from SLC. What sort of private star parties are there this weekend, anyway? ----Original Message----- From: Joe Bauman [mailto:bau@desnews.com] Sent: Sun 8/24/2003 4:10 PM To: Visit http://www.utahastronomy.com for the photo gallery. Cc: Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] 2 free Flagstaff openings for the Mars watch Hi, sorry to just be getting back now -- I've been off work and not checking email because of the horrible flood of spam that has built up. One of the options is gone but the other is still available. It's for Friday night at the Lowell observatory.

Lowell Cancellation

Hi Folks, If someone happens to still have in their mailbox or archives the email that Brent Watson sent out recently stating that he would be unable to make it down to Flagstaff, I would appreciate a forwarded copy to dlbennett(a)mac.com. I mistakenly deleted my copy. Thanks so much, Dave
