Darn. I wish I had seen your message before leaving for the This Is the Place star party. I would have called you and had you shine it up our way. Speaking of star parties, there was a discussion about TITP vs. SPOC vs. Harmons at tonight's star party and at the "Advanced Training Session" that followed. If we follow the examples of the past couple of years, SLAS will be needing to come up with next year's public star party schedule in the next few months and it would be a good idea to see how those *who actually attend star parties* feel about where public star parties are held before next year's schedule s set. Any thoughts here on the subject? Clear skies! patrick On 14 Jun 2008, at 20:41, Chuck Hards wrote:
I'm going to point the 100mW laser toward various compass directions tonight at 10:00 pm and again at 11:00 pm (MDT). You might glance toward mid-valley and see if you can detect a pencil-thin, green beam. I rather doubt that it will be visible unless you are very close to the beam's axis, but you never know!
