Mark, I have the direction to Pit n Pole located here at my blog http://jaysastronomyobservingblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/pit-n-pole-directions... It also has pictures so you can see what it is like during the day. Warning, humidity can get high out there so if you have a dew heater bring it. Better to not need it than to need it. Skies are looking good (really good since I haven't been out since Feb. for a full night) for tomorrow night so I'll be there with a friend, and then if it holds up I'll be there for Friday night as well. The low each night about 40-44 degrees F and it can get cold out there. High pressure is moving in tonight and that is moving the jet stream to the east of us so things could end up being quite decent. Mark, just let me know if you want to meet at Walmart. I may move the time up depending on when I can get out of the school/work. If you want to meet on Friday, I'll be leaving Herriman on Friday around 5:00p.m. and be driving past the Walmart at 5:30p.m. so if you or anyone else wants to meet there to drive out that would work. Here is the NWS Forecast for SLC and Tooele Valleys as of 9:01p.m. Lets hope two days of good weather for observing is going to occur near a new moon (I'll take the thin waning crescent right now). .REST OF TONIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY IN THE EVENING THEN BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY LATE. LOWS IN THE LOWER 40S. .THURSDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY. WARMER. HIGHS IN THE LOWER 60S. .THURSDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR. LOWS NEAR 40. .FRIDAY...SUNNY. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S. .FRIDAY NIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY. LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S. On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 8:39 PM, Mark Shelton <woodturninginc@yahoo.com>wrote:
Observing Thursday or Friday,
I will be coming out to Pit-N-Pole on one of those nights. Depends on the weather. The weather on TV at 6 looked like Friday would be the best night.
I have never been to Pit-N-Pole. I have looked up the instructions on the SLAS site and it seems a little hard to find to me. Is Pit-N-Pote a good area to observe from?
Looking forward to getting some observing in, This will be the first time out this season for me. Sounds like a good time.
Mark

Mat,
If weather holds I'll be there. I am off Friday and am planning on it already.

All;
I'm planning on observing this Friday, weather permitting, at Pit-N-Pole. I plan on arriving there around 6:30. Anyone else up for this?
