Hi Joe, It looks like the articles are still available on the Weber State physics website. Here are the links: http://physics.weber.edu/palen/oas/Newsletter/Mar01.htm http://physics.weber.edu/palen/oas/Newsletter/Apr01.htm You (and others) are certainly welcome to come and visit the observatory if you happen to find yourselves in Cache Valley some time. I only ask that you bring clear skies with you. If you'd like I could give you the address off-list. Of course, you'll have my address as soon as I get my SLAS dues check to you. <g> BTW - there are also other "cheaper" RA options such as Radio Jove, meteor counts (i.e. like Kurt), space weather, etc. that people can pursue. Clear skies, Dale. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Joe Bauman Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 11:31 AM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Radio Astronomy (was Weekend observing) Yes, I'd like to see it!

I don't have it here at work so I'd have to send it later. There are also some slightly older OAS Star Diagonals that have a couple articles I wrote about the radio telescope. Those articles are just a bit dated now because I've switched receivers. I'll find the links to the online files. As Chuck mentioned - you certainly don't see pretty pictures show up on the screen. But, there is some interesting stuff to be found in the data. I'm going to be getting a sweet deal on a loop Yagi antenna from a guy in Canada. I'll be using that along with my dish and I hope to try my hand at some interferometry over the coming year. Clear skies, Dale. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Joe Bauman Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 9:02 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Weekend observing Dale, this is fascinating. I'd love to see it sometime, and I bet others would too. -- Joe --- On Mon, 5/24/10, Dale Hooper <Dale.Hooper@sdl.usu.edu> wrote: From: Dale Hooper <Dale.Hooper@sdl.usu.edu> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Weekend observing To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Monday, May 24, 2010, 3:05 PM This is one of the reasons I built a radio telescope. It's been raining all weekend but I've still been running drift scans at dec -20 degrees. At 1420 MHz (21 cm hydrogen line) clouds and rainstorms (without lightning) are no problem. Clear skies, Dale. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of erikhansen@thebluezone.net Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2010 7:00 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Weekend observing
It rained steadily for over 1 hour at my house with periods of very heavy rain.
I just found precisely one inch of rain in the rain gague (25mm).
That's a 24-hour total for my West Valley location, and it took me by surprise. It must have just dumped after I went to bed last night.
