I just posted a 1/640th of a second picture of the waxing moon taken through my 4 inch 880mm refractor. It is picture number 36 in my album. All I did for processing is an unsharp mask routine.

Phat waning gibbous

I meant to ask earlier if anyone noticed that enormously fat moon hanging low in the southwestern sky early this morning? Beautiful. Debbie, beat the heat down there and shoot some moon shots in the early am this week if you can. Even though it's low in altitude, the sky should be dead still in the early morning. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

ISS to cross the Moon
by Patrick Wiggins 15 May '06

15 May '06

Nice pass of ISS tonight (Tuesday) between 21:08 and 21:14. Nearly straight overhead from SLC about 21:11. Interestingly, it looks like it's going to pass in front of the Moon as seen from SPOC. Patrick

Pictures from this morning of fragments B and C: B http://utahastro.info/temp/B12MAY2006.JPG C http://utahastro.info/temp/C12MAY2006.JPG Both one minute exposures with C-14 operating at f/5.2 and ST-10XME. Single dark but no flats applied. Anyone planning some wide field shots of these guys? Close ups are rather boring, IMHO. Patrick

SPOC refractor
by Chuck Hards 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hi folks, I've been off-list for a couple of months due to workload and family responsibilities cutting into keyboard time, but I'm getting postings again. Good to be virtually among all you fine human beings once more. While away, I did manage to take the SPOC levels 1 & 2 training on the new refractor, and I must say that I am impressed with the fine work done by all those involved in Refractor House. Well done! It's not the biggest scope at SPOC, but I think it just might be the most fun. ;) C. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Here's a first draft of a lens table for the Bogdan Refractor at SPOC. Bruce's 20mm lens recommendation seems about right. http://members.csolutions.net/fisherka/astronote/BogdanRef/BogdanClarkRefra… - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
