Re: [Utah-astronomy] Labor Day Astronomy Programs at Great Basin National Park
Now IF my Pathfinder is fixed in time, that might be tempting. Could be worth driving out Friday night for that, but setup would be in the dark. I'll have to see how the wife does with everything she is going through though first and I'll have to have the Pathfinder back (should be I hope). On 2010-08-28 20:44, Kelly_Carroll wrote:
Hello all,
I would like to invite you to spend a couple of dark nights with us
at
Great Basin National Park. We will be having public programs both Saturday and Sunday night (9/4-9/5) and would love the company.
If you need any information you can email me at: kelly_carroll@??? or call 775-234-7331.
Best,

Great Basin is a pretty dark sky, if you've never been there or even if you have it's worth it. I went there a few years ago and was quite pleased with the sky although the weather wasn't totally cooperative. Unfortunately I will be down at Capital Reef on Labor Day week-end so I won't make it but I suggest you consider the trip. So many Parks, so little time.

I look forward to Capitol Reef. This is, by far, my favorite yearly SLAS outing. The Park is quiet and quaint. Several of us get together for day hikes with amazing views and fascinating sights. Some resturants offer locally grown foods and great menues. You can purchase a fruit pie-for-one for $5 in the park with homemade ice cream. The night sky is dark with a good low horizon in the east. I haven't been to Great Basin since the year it became a National Park - almost 25 years ago - so I am anxious to hear about the star party there. But, I am headed to Capitol Reef. Hopefully, Bob, the weather will cooperate this year! -A
Ann: I'll keep you posted. I have gone back and forth several times about this weekend. I'm about 99% committed to Great Basin for this weekend. I have opted for the star party experience with the public rather than dark skies and solitude. (what is wrong with me anyway)? I'll let you know how it turns out when I get back. Steve

Here's to each of us no matter where we go this weekend, be it for the public, ourselves or for company or solitude. May the skies be clear, the seeing and transparency excellent and the equipment flawless. On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 4:53 PM, Ann House <ann@annhouse.org> wrote:
