I was on the Lakeside road last night to see the comet. But a dust storm forced a hasty retreat. The lights visible out there (when the dust is blowing) are SLC glow to the east and some from the industries at Aragonite to the south. The north and north west are fine. The road is pretty much in the bottom of the valley, with dirt spurs to the east and west. I think one marked Well Pass goes up and over to Lakeside. This is dusty country; how would people would feel about setting up scopes on dusty dirt roads? Did get to see the comet from the second Grantsville exit. Fun to see the comet and M31 in one binocular field of view. If the weather's good I'll probably be on the Lakeside road tonight. Bill Biesele
