Triple shadow transit
by Kim Hyatt 26 Mar '04

26 Mar '04

If I've understood my Observer's Handbook, Sunday's triple shadow transit on Jupiter should occur around 1:00 AM MST. Is anyone else planning an observing trip for this event? I'm thinking of SPOC, possibly Skull Valley. Kim A. Hyatt, AIA SL&A Architects 331 South Rio Grande, Suite 304 Salt Lake City, Utah 84101 Tel: 801.322.5550 x105 Fax: 801.322.5557 Cell: 801.631.5228

Kim: The cities of Gresham and Sandy are on the west slope of Mt Hood on the way down to Portland. Gresham has a host of nice, comfortable motels. I am sure Sandy does too, but I am not as familiar with them. The "supreme" overnighter spot would be the lodge on the mountain itself. It is called Timberline lodge - a world-famous place. If you wish, I can get the phone number of the lodge for you. Many climbing parties begin and end at that the lodge and there is much climbing information available at the lodge. Just keep in mind, that many people have lost or nearly lost their lives on the Hood climbs. June weather on the mountain is very unpredictable as I recall. But you will need to check with the lodge climbing professionals for a better estimate.

I also noticed that the time for the transit is Sunday AM, not Monday AM. I forgot about the public star party, so maybe we should just hang out at SPOC. Perhaps we can break for pizza or something. Weather looks clearing by tomorrow night with clear skies Sunday, so I'm hopeful.

I apologize if I started a lot of confusion and problems. I use Microsoft Outlook and don't open attachments either unless I recognize the sender and extension. In Joe's email today, I couldn't see the attachment unless I did open it - the previewer only lets me know that there is an attachment. If the sender would just briefly describe the attachment, I don't have to worry. Since I recently received a suspicious email and attachment from someone in my own office (somehow automatically sent to me by the offender under my colleague's name), I'm just being extra careful. I still would like to see pics and any other appropriate attachments from legitimate users of this list. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Trottier [mailto:strottier@novell.com] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 5:23 PM To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Attachment test Maybe allowing attachments with .jpg extentions would be okay and Cynthia could set it up to block the rest. That way people could still attach photographs and we'd have pretty good protection against viruses. I haven't heard of viruses being sent as .jpg attachments. While we're at it, it should be safe to allow .mpg extensions as well, just in case someone had a legitimate need to attach video to their message. Personally, I'm not too concerned about getting a virus from an email attachment. My email program never opens them automatically, and I only open them if I recognize the extension and the sender. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com

Many clubs publish their own, but don't have the detail of the RASC Observer's Handbook. I've bought one very year since I began seriously observing over 15 years ago. I recommend it for both beginners and old hands. I used to live in Eugene (oh so many years ago) but I don't remember where Albany is. Do you have good observing opportunities from where you live? -----Original Message----- From: Corr, Tom [mailto:TCorr@co.linn.or.us] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 11:54 AM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] Triple shadow transit Thanks, I thought it might have been a local (club) publication. -----Original Message----- From: Kim Hyatt [mailto:khyatt@smithlayton.com] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 10:51 AM To: 'Utah Astronomy' Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] Triple shadow transit Observer's Handbook is just that, an astronomical observing handbook published by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (I think I got the name right).
