I think he is being paid by the tourists, Erik, but not the Park. If the Park had funds, they would have the rangers do the program such as is being done with Bryce. -A On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 11:16 AM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
A SLAS blast has asked for volunteers for a Arches Star Party in which he is listed as the "group" providing scopes. It is reasonable to ask if he is being payed, if SLAS is going to volunteer. Not sure it can be assumed sequester means he will be not be paid.
IMAX? what is the point of going to a National Park.
It appears that he is working on his own and not for the government.
Arches, like our other National Parks, is suffering from the automatic spending cuts - the sequester. Arches must be happy to have him as it draws people into the Park. They have been trying to get people back to camping in the Park to bring in revenue. Arches has been in competition with Moab's night life for the past couple of decades. Next will come the IMAX like at Zions.

Wouldn't that make him a government sub-contractor?

It is not an Astronomy Club, it is an individual who hires out. He is kind of expensive, wonder if Arches is paying him.
