I second what Chuck says, also about the sun. My old hiking companion, Conrad Bert, developed a melanoma on the scalp from all his sun exposure -- he would not wear a hat and almost never put on any sun screen. Sometimes he wrapped a bandanna around his head, covering his hair, but that was a thin piece of cloth. The melanoma metastasized to his liver. The liver cancer would have killed him, except that Parkinson's got him first. He was a dear friend and I try to warn everyone I can about the dangers of overexposure to sun. As astronomers, at least we're mostly out at night. But some of us camp out or stay out all night and pack in the morning, and I want all to remember to protect against Sol.

Of course, you DO have a better view of that part of the sky than the rest of us! Stay out of the sun, it's going to be brutal this weekend. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
