Nova Scorpii
by Chuck Hards 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

The nova was not visible to my unaided eye at six this morning. I plan to try binos Wednesday morning, weather permitting. I think it's still low enough that atmospheric extinction was playing a part; the air seemed clear however. And the LP of the valley certainly didn't help but a 4th-mag star has always been easily visible from my yard- at higher altitudes. Stay tuned. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a PS3 game guru. Get your game face on with the latest PS3 news and previews at Yahoo!

Patrick, do you suppose that the Ulysses probe is within reach of your imaging instrumentality? Perhaps the 32-inch scope? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check. Try the Yahoo!

Really BIG bino!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Two-20-F-4-Newtonian-Telescope-Mirror-Matched-Set_W0QQi… If you can't get the whole address in your browser window, just search for the item number on eBay. I wonder how a person can let such a great set of optics deteriorate. The owner should never have ventured down the astronomy path in the first place. There's just no excuse. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked. Take a quick peak at the forecast with the Yahoo!

Fwd: Utah Valley Astronomy Association Members Receive a Free Eyepiece and Special Discounts
by Richard Tenney 10 Feb '07

FWIW, these guys sent me a ton of marketing material (I really never asked for any of it) but in case anyone is in the mood to buy $300 of astro-gear, a "free" eyepiece thrown in doesn't hurt... -Rich Note: forwarded message attached. ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
