Hi Jo,
How was your trip? Â SLAStrofest went very considering the nasty weather we had the entire weekend. Â We had a great turnout despite the clouds though. Â We probably had as many as 50 people at one point during the day on Saturday. Â All the lectures were well received (even mine) and people seemed to have a good time while learning some of the ins and outs of amateur astronomy. Â The Star-B-Que was also a great success...no one went hungry! Â Another plus were the porta-johns brought up thanks to Alpine & Roger...well received too ;)

I just got back from Calif and found out the battery on the computer is dead. I will post some pictures of the slides I took a week ago Sunday as soon as the battery arrives.
I had to deal with lightning, airplanes, laser pointers, bats and mosquitos up at Kolob reservoir. But at 9000 ft and 7.0 mag skies, I can't really complain. This astrophotography stuff is harder than I thought it was. Hopefully I got a few decent pictures. I can't wait for the meteor shower! Clear Skies, Debbie

Stick with it, Debbie. Anything that's easy isn't worth doing. Mastering the difficult is what makes it worthwhile. And your first efforts are outstanding. I'm certainly no expert, but from my experience imaging and socializing do not go together. Visual astronomy is more of a star-party activity; when taking pictures I find the fewer distractions, the better the "keeper" ratio. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo!

HI Deb, I'm just back from vacation and reading all my stacked-up email -- what's that about laser pointers at Kolob Reservoir? Were there other groups there? Looking forward to seeing your photos, too. Best wishes, Joe
