Several short outages over the weekend, high winds, microbursts, but no rain (at least at my house). My power supply kept me up, no outage lasted more than a few seconds in West Valley.

RE: [Utah-astronomy] OK Mars picture

Joe- couldn't open the page. Anyway, even "so-so" photo efforts are worth sharing for critiques. And, I admire anyone who can do something I can't. Did you receive my email about the MARSpectacular at the Mars Society's Mars Dersert Research Station near Hanksville at the end of the month? At the same time, I'll be retrieving the NexStar 11GPS that Celestron has donated for our accessible scope - thought you might like to do a story... -----Original Message----- From: Joe Bauman [mailto:bau@desnews.com] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 7:00 AM To: Visit http://www.utahastronomy.com for the photo gallery. Subject: [Utah-astronomy] OK Mars picture Dear Friends, I want to send this note to the group to undo a little of my embarrassment. Through some production error a view of Mars that I took Saturday morning was printing wrong in the paper -- it was blown up so big that the grain of the negative overwhelmed the detail, and it was not flipped as I had ask that I should be. So I have put a better version of it on the gallery that Cyn established. It is the second one in it.

Sorry about the email I just sent - it was intended only for Joe Bauman. (At least I didn't call anyone names...)

Terrific Mars images...
by Richard Tenney 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

...taken through a humble 6-inch Criterion RV-6 Dynascope no less using a digital web cam: http://home.austin.rr.com/campbelp/mars.html The really interesting thing is (aside from the quality of the images) is the rapidly growing size of the planet. I posted this yesterday but have no idea if anyone saw it given the problems with xmission. Apologies if this post is redundant. Rich __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Another inexpensive astro binocular
by Chuck Hards 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

The latest Cheaper Than Dirt catalog lists a 10x50mm binocular for $14.97, an overstock regularly selling in the $50 range. Stock #SCP-700 1-800-421-8047 www.CheaperThanDirt.com The 10x50mm is generally the most recommended binocular for astronomy in the mid-size range. Also in the same catalog is the Gamo .22 red-dot sight. Stock #SCP-023 $9.97 This would make a nice sight for an astro binocular. C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Mars
by Chuck Hards 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us. At midnight on the twelfth of August, a huge mass of luminous gas erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth. Across two hundred million miles of void, invisibly hurtling towards us, came the first of the missles that were to bring so much calamity to Earth. As I watched, there was another jet of gas. It was another missle, starting on its way. And that's how it was for the next ten nights. A flare, spurting out from Mars-bright green, drawing a green mist behind it-a beautiful, but somehow disturbing sight. Ogilvy, the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger. He was convinced there could be no living thing on that remote, forbidding planet. >From Jeff Wayne's musical adaptation of H. G. Wells novel "The War of the Worlds". __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
