Here's what one looks like from the ground, seen through my finder scope. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4847 ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: utah astronomy listserve utah astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, January 2, 2012 12:51 AM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Have a look / OT pix Hi all, SLAS's webmeister Ken Warner has been working hard to get the SLAS website updated for the new year. I think it's all set but I'd appreciate it if some of the non-SLAS members on the list could look it over and see if anything needs fixing. Comments from SLAS members are welcome too but I'm especially interested in hearing from those with "fresh eyes" who may not have visited the site before. http://slas.us/ And for your viewing enjoyment from last evening's flight: :) Anyone heard about these things floating about over the West Desert? http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/BLIMPS.JPG And speaking of the West Desert, a while back folks here were able to tell me the dots I see on the ground around here are ant hills. Any ideas what these features are? I spotted them north of I-80 and just east of where the salt ends (dirt road in the image for scale). http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/PATTERNS.JPG Great night tonight. I hope I'm not the only one taking advantage. Hmmm, I wonder if Ms. French is. <g> patrick _______________________________________________ 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
