Saw ingress and egress through twin 160's through a fair amount of smoke at Ammon (Idaho Falls), Idaho. We could see Moon and Venus. The Moon was difficult. We could not see the dark edge at all. On Aug 13, 2012 4:17 PM, "Patrick Wiggins" <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
The sky at Stansbury was blue but with the milky white hue that tells you know it's far from clear,
Could not see the Moon even with 7x50s,
Too bad too as I remember a daytime Venus occultation a while back that was spectacular,

Dang - I missed it. Work... Did anyone see it from Salt Lake City? I'll try again when it reappears at 3:39pm. Dion
