Tonight is a go
by Richard Tenney 10 Mar '05

Just got confirmation from Tyler Allred that I will have company tonight, so we're planning on being at the Pit-n-pole tonight if anyone cares to join us. I'm thinking I'll be out there till about 11pm or so, perhaps a tad later. He will be imaging again so latecomers watch your lights! Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Anyone up for tonight in Rush Valley?
by Richard Tenney 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

There's a lot of wisdom in the expression (among horse owners anyway) "make hay while the sun shines". I'm looking at the blue sky and how nice the stars looked last night and feel like I should take advantage of this unusual (for Utah) spring weather and new moon opportunity, and not wait to see what happens on the weekend. If I can get someone to join me (hate to be out in the boonies by myself) I'd like to drag the scope out tonight to the Pit-n-pole. Any takers? Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Tyler, I found the images to be very impressive. I was just looking at the March photo of my Celestial Wonders Calendar. It is of the Horsehead Nebula. The calendar image is a bit smaller FOV but quite frankly aesthetically, I don't think it has anything up on your image. Very nice work! Keep it up.

The March "Month-by-Month" entry in the 2005 RASC Observer's Handbook lists the last week of March as a prime time for northern hemisphere observers to see to zodical light. - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The last time I was there the wind was no problem. Seems to me there would be more wind at a higher elevation, anyway. You think? So, from your comments, Joe, and Rob Taylor, and Jo & Allen, I'm thinking we could have a nice little group. Anyone else up for it?! Mike Bailey

I enjoy leaving as early in the afternoon as I can in order to arrive well before sunset. It gives me a chance to enjoy a camp-stove dinner, and take in the desert solitude and the peaceful feel of the Wedge area. How early can you leave? Anyway, I would really like to go to the "new site." I'm flexible, though, if everyone else wants to stay at the traditional site. Some people like the idea of the somewhat higher altitude. The "new" site, however, has the benefit of being a few miles south and the additional southern latitude is definitely a plus in my book. Mike Bailey

Mike and all: I might be able to make the trip down to the Wedge on Friday, what time were you planning on leaving? Maybe we can convoy down. What site were you looking to head towards, the traditional site (camping area) or your new site? Bob Taylor
