A beautiful star death
by Joe Bauman 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Dear member of the Utah Astronomy news group -- I don't know whether any of you are still interested in astronomy. I've seen only a few comments per month, and have to assume that most either don't care or are satisfied with other forums. As far as I'm concerned, Utah Astronomy is a premier platform with a history of exciting discussions. At any rate, assuming that some interest in the field remains, I'm posting my latest blog, about the magnificent Ring Nebula. Best wishes, Joe Bauman https://the-nightly-news.com/blog/blog-88-a-beautiful-memento-mori

Hi Joe, While I don't often post anything, I really enjoy reading your blog posts while serving a mission in France. Thanks for all you do to interest people in astronomy.

Nice article. I just spent a lovely morning out in the sun here in Florida, as we prepare for the arrival of Dorian. Still, the sun was nice. Here's one of my shots of the launch of the Parker Solar Probe on ULA Delta IV Heavy back in July of '17 https://imgur.com/46sfqsD I took this from KARS park in Merritt Island, about 6 miles from the launch pad.

Two Bright Lights
by Sue Ellen Ebertz 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

Hi everyone! At about 11:30 pm or so, from the summit of Emmigration Canyon....I saw one very bright pinpointed light for fractions of a second or 1 sec, then disappeared, then happened again, almost the same magnitude, then disappeared, for good. I might be wrong if I guessed the magnitude, but I'd say 1 or 2, and very white. I'm not that great at labeling the sky meridians so I noted it was somewhere centered between Cassiopeia and the general area of the Big Dipper. Any thoughts on this? At first I thought it was ISS, which I don't think I have ever seen, but after checking charts, it was nowhere near the location. Perhaps a super nova? Thanks so much Best, Shoshana

Jaegers 6" f/10 objective for sale
by Chuck Hards 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

Up for sale is a rare old Jaegers 6" f/10 objective, with original Jaegers cell. I also have a nice Astro-Physics 2.7" focuser for this, and can supply a length of aluminum tubing for it if needed. The f/10 is the most sought after Jaegers 6" focal length, being much more easily managed than the f/15. Asking $700 for the lot, can deliver within 50 miles of the Salt Lake Valley, except the tube which is too long to fit in the car. Will sell just the objective and cell separately for $500. Thought I'd see if there was any local interest before I listed it on Cloudy Nights. Contact me off-list if interested. Thanks!
