Thanks, nice photos, Dion. I wonder if anyone has held a camera to the eyepiece and taken a shot. -- Joe On Saturday, November 9, 2013 10:47 PM, Dion Davidson <diondavidson@yahoo.com> wrote: Chuck Just wanted to say thanks for arranging that visit to the 70" telescope. Truly breathtaking in person. Between groups I got to spend about 30 minutes with Mike hearing about the telescope, its past and future. The individual craters on the moon were amazing, and the ring nebula was huge! I'm glad I stuck around until the sky cleared a bit. Here are a few photos I took tonight: http://goo.gl/6etXDD Dion On Friday, November 8, 2013 7:31 PM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote: Steve and Mike have again graciously extended an invitation to view through the 70-inch telescope this Saturday, Nov. 9th, and Sunday, Nov. 10th. There are 20 openings only each night. The first 20 for each night to reply to me will be given a slot. Please only reserve one night to make room for others. Off-list would be best. Families are welcome but each member of the family counts as one slot. Please carpool if possible. I will send directions and the code to open the gate to those who respond in time to secure a reservation. If any SLAS officers are reading this, feel free to send a SLAS blast and give my email address as the proper RSVP address. chuck.hards@gmail.com I will send out another message when all slots are filled. Start time will be 6:00 PM until Steve and Mike decide it's time to close up for the night. Dress warmly. Good luck! _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
