Utah Star Party
by Jay Eads 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Next Thursday (I will not be there on Thursday), Friday and Saturday is the Utah Star Party out at the Forest Road 006. I'll be there Friday (I hope if I can get out of supervising at a HS football game) and Saturday night. Here are the coordinates out of Google Maps: 40.001430, -112.427236 The nearest bathroom is either the tumble weeds away from the campsite/observing site or 5 miles east at the Vernon Reservoir. They have forest service bathrooms there and they are kept very clean. You will need to bring your own food and water if you are coming. We had a blast last year though it was cold. Hopefully the weather this year cooperates. We'll see. Friday is not looking really promising right now. Hope to see some of you there for a few days at a dark site. Jay

Utah Star Party
by Jay Eads 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

Hmmm, try this again as the first one never posted. Next Thursday (I will not be there on Thursday), Friday and Saturday is the Utah Star Party out at the Forest Road 006. I'll be there Friday (I hope if I can get out of supervising at a HS football game) and Saturday night. Here are the coordinates out of Google Maps: 40.001430, -112.427236 If you need further directions I can provide that. Basically get to UT36, go to Vernon, turn right at the sign for the Vernon Reservoir, go out about 9 miles (estimated) turn right when the road T's, go to FR006 the first left and drive up about a mile looking for us on the left. If that is occupied we go up over a cattle guard and take the next camp site in the Juniper on the right. The nearest bathroom is either the tumble weeds away from the campsite/observing site or 5 miles east at the Vernon Reservoir. They have forest service bathrooms there and they are kept very clean. You will need to bring your own food and water if you are coming. We had a blast last year though it was cold. Hopefully the weather this year cooperates. We'll see. Friday is not looking really promising right now. Hope to see some of you there for a few days at a dark site.

Here's a story we spoke about at tonight's Advanced Training Session. I think it might be of interest to folks here: Russia: Fireball Over Wyoming Wasn't Spy Satellite http://www.themoscowtimes.com/business/article/russia-denies-burn-up-of-mil… So, who do we believe? I'm some surprised they're still using film. patrick

Voyager 1 waypoint
by Wiggins Patrick 19 Sep '14

Kind of a slow night in the observatory and with my main project finished for the night and bad weather approaching I got a quick short of Voyager 1's next "destination" before shutting down. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=5970 patrick

Night Sky Network Survey
by Ryan Simpkins 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

NASA's Night Sky Network (NSN) is conducting a survey of amateur astronomers so they can continue to serve our community in a positive way. The NSN is amazing resource for amateurs involved in public outreach. It is run in partnership with the Astronomical Society of the Pacific who puts together much of their training videos and other services. Please consider helping them, and our community as a whole, by completing the survey (it took me about 15 minutes to complete): https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/astronomersurvey -Ryan
