Re: [Utah-astronomy] APS 4 Corners

Oops, heh. This is the annual meeting for the American Physical Society. They call it the Four Corners meeting. Here is the web page: http://www.physics.utah.edu/~4c2002/ Looking at the invited speakers and the schedule it seems it will be pretty exciting. I also followed the links from there to the APS homepage and looked at the latest copy of the program. Weather seems like it might be a bit damp for stargazing Friday night, but otherwise it will still be fun. Registration with a Student ID was free to a certain date; ten dollars at the door. The registration form has all the details. Kris >>> dlbennett(a)mac.com 10/02/02 10:23AM >>> Kris, could you enlighten us as to what APS 4 Corners is? Thanks!

Is anyone going to this this Friday / Sat? I think it would be neat to put faces to names of some of the regulars on the e-mail list. I registered and will be going. I couldn't find anyone to take with me but I still think it will be a good time. Kris Jones

Binoculars

I know the Bear binoculars were a big hit last year so I thought I would let everyone know about the new binoculars in the Sportsmans Guide. I received my catalog yesterday and they have 15X70mm Galileo binoculars for $69.97. The field of view is the same as the Bears. They are a closeout so you would need to act fast if you want some.

Hey Cyn, I'm out here. I wonder how many people have been checking out on the new Scope at SPOC? The classes I have attended have been full, and a lot of fun. It is nearly a full time activity for Bruce and Patrick it seems. As we get a larger crew of people checked out, it will be fun to run out to the scope to try out new targets. Any one want to try a ccd image of the ISS? Hook up a video camera? Bob St. Marie
