Re: [Utah-astronomy] Observing Report from the Gravel Pit

Rich is right-on. That was one of the most beautiful nights of seeing I've encountered close to SLC. I much enjoyed seeing the Veil and Crescent nebulas through Lowell's monster. The night was balmy through the time when the moon rose and almost everybody packed up. The folks there were great! It was pleasant to be around knowledgeable and enthusiastic people who love the night sky. -- Further deponent sayeth not. (Meaning: Don't ask about my struggle to make parfocal eyepiece for my tracker!) Best wishes, Joe
