Nocturne Observatory - New Image - M64 The Black Eye Galaxy
by Tyler Allred 19 May '13

19 May '13

Hi all. I finished another image with my new homemade astrograph. It is a deep version of M64, aka the Black Eye Galaxy. This is a cool galaxy that suggests the remnants of a major galactic collision. The inner part of the galaxy rotates one direction and the outer part rotates the opposite direction. Pretty cool. The image turned out good, and I hope you will take a look at it. My scope is finally dialed in and performing at or near its peak. Here is a link to my website: http://www.allred-astro.com//viewer.php?id=129 <http://www.allred-astro.com/viewer.php?id=129&cat=1&sub=21> &cat=1&sub=21 Be sure to click the image a couple of times to get to the full resolution version. Cheers, Tyler

Sub-Sub committee

Interesting about the proposal to check out a new dining facility... I know of personal experience the Pastromi sandwich is the "cocaine" of several of the members and if nothing else that should entice some of us to the new facility... Unfortunately.... I too have a previous engagement on Friday... it is the beginning of the holiday weekend and I will be at my mountain place until monday.. but... certainly would be interested in attending another time... Also... the idea of a "dinner" time engagement is interesting... perhaps we could get more of our friends to attend... along with spouses (I know Joe... Cory always brings you anyway)... Keep us posted...

Stunning Astronomical Alignment found atPeru Pyramid
by Thomas Sevcik 19 May '13

19 May '13

This is a way cool article! "An ancient astronomical alignment in southern Peru has been discovered by researchers between a pyramid, two stone lines and the setting sun during the winter solstice. During the solstice, hundreds of years ago, the three would have lined up to frame the pyramid in light." This only renews my former interest in Peruvian astronomy. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/51791257/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/stun… Tom Sevcik

Nice story in the Tribune. Unfortunately, the weather looks pretty awful. I'll head to Brickyard tonight just in case, staying for a while anyway. -- http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/56317482-78/planets-stars-telescopes-view… -- Joe

Impressive sight for anyone who might have witnessed it! Maybe a challenging target for the Grim? http://science.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/17/18325264-rock-slams-into-moon-s… Tom Sevcik

SPOC tonight (Saturday)
by Patrick Wiggins 18 May '13

18 May '13

My fingers are crossed as I send this but the thunderstorm that paid SPOC a visit earlier today is long gone. Currently no wind and lots of sunshine. Even SPOC's Clear Sky Clock looks encouraging: http://www.cleardarksky.com/c/SPOC2UTkey.html?1 Oh and Charlie says he wants to make sure the ATS at Denny's is still on (no SLAS function can happen without food). patrick

I'm encouraged by the outlook. Unless it turns horrible by then Cory and I will be there around 7:30 with the speaker, tickets and ticket box. Charlie, don't come around because I'll be at SPIC. -- Joe

Deloy, I doubt SPIC will host a show tonight. -- Joe ------------------------------ On Sat, May 18, 2013 8:03 AM MDT D P Pierce wrote: > I still want to go to SPOC.
