I got up at 6:15, but my eastern horizon is much too high. Looked again at 7:00 - still nothing and clouds moving in, so I went back to bed.

I went to the top of Emigration Canyon and at first thought I would be the only one there. but by 6:30 the parking lot there was full of cars and people, and they were parked up and down the road, I was a bit surprised by the turn out of people. I set up my telescope and showed people views of the moon and Saturn (which I could get both in the same FOV with a 2 " eye piece) at about 7:05 the planets were spotted just above the mountain and just under the clouds, with my eye it looked like a string of stars contrasting from bright to dim. In the scope you could just barely pick out the detail of Jupiter and a moon (not sure which one) it lasted for only a few minutes before the clouds took over but several people were able to get a look through the telescope and were happy they woke up early and stood out in the cold the. Did any one get any pictures? I was not able to with all the people there and how fast the clouds came in.

They should be above my horizon by now but their part of the sky is obscured by a cloud over the Oquirrhs. Anyone here have better luck? pw _______________________________________________ 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.utahastronomy.com --------------------------------- Have a burning question?
