1 1/4 to .965 adapter
by D P Pierce 17 Sep '11

A couple months ago someone at SPOC told me they would give me a 1 1/4" to .965" eyepiece adapter. I still need it. I will be at SPOC tomorrow. Deloy Pierce, Large Bored Member this message sent from an Etch-A Sketch

Surprise Surprise ! http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/52568749-78/wiggins-cat-condos-society.ht… Well it looks like PW and I have something else in common, Cats - I got one of my cats – Sirius - from HS years ago and all my cats have been neutered/spaded there. Andromeda and Cassiopia (Andi and Cassie for short) don’t seem to mind

I didn't see this here yet but there could have been a link in one of the bug eating posts. This could potentially be good news but as we all know, nothing is 100% with funding. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/16/james-webb-space-telescope-saved/

Patrick, you image a lot of space rocks and are in that loop, are you aware of any asteroids/NEO's ever being imaged/discovered during a solar transit?

Lost book: Photographic Atlas of the Moon by S. M. Chong

Dear group, I have misplaced by copy of Photographic Atlas of the Moon (Hardcover) by S. M. Chong. I may have left it out at SPOC a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone seen it ``orbiting'' out at SPOC? There was a Sky 600 Map inside. Thanks, Kurt

ISS Solar Transit
by Jared Smith 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I was able to capture an ISS solar transit along with some nice sunspots this morning. The clouds parted just moments before the transit time, which resulted in the image being a bit over-exposed. Still, it's nice to scratch another item off my astrophotography bucket list. http://smithplanet.com/astro/solarsystem/solar/isstransit/ISSTransit.jpg Full disc: http://smithplanet.com/astro/solarsystem/solar/isstransit/ISSTransitFull.jpg Jared
