Pit n Pole on Saturday

Well, I guess I just like punishment and the sky looks even better for tonight so I'm heading back to Pit n Pole tonight. If anyone is interested in joining me there feel free to come out and see the Summer Milky Way out in its splendor! I'm chasing Sir William's 400 objects tonight since I did the grand Messier tour last night along with a few Sir William 400 thrown in. The 14 and the 10 last showed SN2011dh quite well. It is fading but still visible. The Veil Nebula was fantastic in the 27mm Panoptic and overall, I am excited about tonight. I forget to steal a look at the North American Nebula last night so I'll try that tonight with binoculars. No humidity tonight and temsp in the 60's til around 3:00a.m. when they dip into the 50's. -- Jay Eads

Kudos to Jay Eads for inviting us out to Pit and Pole last night. It was a nice event for people who stayed in town this weekend due to work commitments. The famous Charlie Green made a suprise appearance. Jay gratiously shared view from his excellent 14 inch dob and let us distract him from his Herchel 400 sketching project. A good time was had by all. DT

Small errand came up, my safest bet is that do not wait for me at walmart, weekend traffic is unpredictable, i will meet you at the pit instead, sorry if the change of plan causes any trouble

Friday and Saturday Observing
by Jay Eads 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

So Friday is looking really good for observing and I am heading out to Pit n Pole on Friday. If the weather is good on Saturday I'll either hit Pit n Pole or Lakeside (would prefer Lakeside). On Friday, if you want to go and haven't been there I am willing to meet at 7:00p.m. SHARP at the outer Walmart Parking lot right off UT-73 in Lehi. You simply pull in to the parking lot, turn left and find a parking stall way out and away from Walmart. I drive a black Nissan Pathfinder. If no one replies they want to follow me out then I won't stop. I would like to be out thereby 7:30p.m. to set up and collimate and then enjoy twilight so I don't have to set up after dark, and I may take a quick nap! So if you couldn't make ALCON some of us will be out and about. -- Jay Eads
