Re: [Utah-astronomy] Great Basin

There seems to be some misunderstanding here. Actually, Thursday night at Great Basin was spectacular. One of a few times that I was able to spot M33 with the naked eye so easily. Also pointed out the North American Nebula to a few fellow telescope operators from Nevada who had never been able to distinguish it from the rest of neighboring star clouds. Had a good size crowd that night. True, we were clouded out Friday night and rained out Saturday night. Many thanks to Steve Fisher and Ivo Stutznegger whose names come off the top of my head for coming down.Keynote speaker Wally Pacholka had some amazing large gallery wrapped astro photos for sale. Next year's astronomy festival will be September 19th to the 21st. Tom Sevcik
