Erik: Little Mountain is still being used for hit and run astronomy events. Even in just the lower parking lot you will meet people during non telescope events like lunar eclipses and meteor showers. It's great for when events fall on a school or work night and you only have time for a quick peek with hand held binoculars. I ran into club members there for comet Hyakutake, a Leonid shower, and a lunar eclipse. Strangely I didn't see any one when comet Holmes was visable to the unaided eye. It's always worth a try when a bright comet is in the eastern sky just before dawn. DT --- On Tue, 9/9/08, zaurak@digis.net <zaurak@digis.net> wrote:

Little Mountain we no longer have access to upper parking area, lower parking area not big enough. The water shed manager does not really want us up their. Non-board members sometimes got a key to the gate by posing as board member. The water shed manager was not happy about multiple keys being issued. They would change or add locks without notice, this was when the site was dropped.
