2014 Observer's Handbook & Calendars
by Wiggins Patrick 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

SLAS is going to be placing a large enough order with the publishers that they'll be able to get the handbooks and calendars, which the publishers' website says retail for $38.20 and $28.20 for $16.95 and $10.95 respectively, including shipping to Salt Lake. While primarily intended as a perk for members, in years past the offer has also been made to those here on Utah-Astronomy. If anyone here is interested please contact me off list to work out the details. For those who may not be familiar with the handbook and calendar here are links: http://www.rasc.ca/observers-handbook http://www.rasc.ca/calendar patrick New address: paw(a)getbeehive.net

Utah Star Party

Mark Shelton and myself and Mat are heading out to the site today to set up our locations and camp tonight. There should be a good four hour window after 12:00a.m. I may use for the refractor. I won't set up the 14" til tomorrow afternoon. Friday night and Saturday are looking good and excellent there. So if your local, want to come out for a night come on out. I've posted directions in my previous post. If not, stay warm, we will.

Today's Spaceweather.com has a nice little blurb on Ison. I like the photo of its location on Sept 29th, with the telescope in the foreground. http://spaceweather.com/ Bruce Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. - Edwin Powell Hubble

Mars and ISON
by Patrick Wiggins 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Looks like ISON will be just over 2 degrees away from Mars this morning. 6:00 has the two about 26 degrees in altitude and pretty much due east as seen from northern Utah. By mid-October they'll be a few degrees higher and a bit further south at 6 but less than one degree apart. patrick
