Wedge This Week-End
by Robert Taylor 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

I'm making tentative (weather permitting) plans for the Wedge on Friday Night. So far the weather looks like clouds and possibly thunderstorms in the area. With gas at $2.60 per gallon and rising I'm going to need a better forecast than 30% chance of precipitation. If the weather doesn't get better I'll stay local, maybe head up to the Gravel Quarry instead if it the clouds open up. I'll give it another day or two to see how the weather develops. Bob Taylor

Hey Mike, Haven't seen you on the list in a while. I'm thinking about it pretty hard. A few days ago, the weather forecast wasn't at all encouraging, but it's looking up. I probably won't decide for sure until Thursday. If the Wedge doesn't work out, I still might want to head out to Lone Rock for a few hours.

by Canopus56 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

For sale: GPINT-PT Autoguiding Parallel Port Adapter $20 See http://www.store.shoestringastronomy.com/products_gp.htm for product details. This adapter fits onto the back of your laptop's parallel printer port and autoguides your scope using software like GuideDog. http://barkosoftware.com/GuideDog/ Reason for selling: Computer upgrade and change. New computer does not have a parallel port. I am buying a GPINT-USB autoguiding adapter. Does not include misc connection cable that will need to be purchased separately through the GPINT site. Contact me via email to arrange transfer details, e.g. usually handoffs at SLAS meetings. I'll try to bring it with me to tonight's SLAS meeting. - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
