Hi Gary, thanks for the reporter. I thought Fermilab was shut down or in the process of shutting down -- did you hear anything like that? Thanks, Joe ________________________________ From: Gary Vardon <gvardon@webtv.net> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 11:05 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] my ALCON trip I went to ALCON in Chicago last week. I stayed at the Lincolnshire resort where the event occurred. All told I had a gooood time and found the event worthwhile. I toured Fermi lab where they do particle physics and saw the Yerkes telescope. Yerkes is a huge refractor. July 4th I saw fire works and then went to a star party. I went to many interesting talks including those on light pollution, the phases of Venus, image stacking and measuring the size of features of Jupiter.
