Fwd: astrophotography activity + star party

30 May 2008

      Anyone on either list want to respond to Denise as far
as volunteering to coming down to BYU and talk about
astrophotography?

Denise, I think we should have some local interest in
a joint star party on July 25 (I'll probably be
there).

Please reply to all if you can help with either event.

Thanks,
Rich

Subject: astrophotography activity
Rich,
I'm the faculty advisor for the Astronomy club over
at BYU, and we were 
wondering if there was anyone in the Utah Valley
Astronomy Association 
that knows something about astrophotography and
would be willing to come 
and talk to our group during an activity sometime in
August.  We'd like 
to learn about the kind of equipment you need, basic
techniques, see it 
in action if weather permits, and just general
information.  We don't 
have any definite dates yet, and are quite flexible.
 We can work around 
the guest's schedule.  We'd like to try out some of
the techniques, so 
we'll probably plan on having them speak to us in
the evening and then 
we would head for a dark sky site for a star party. 
If there is 
interest within your group, we could combine
together to make this a 
joint event.  If you don't have anyone within your
group or know of 
anyone locally, then I'll trying writing to the Salt
Lake Astronomical 
Society next.
We are also planning to hold a public star party in
the valley on July 
25th.  We just set the date yesterday, so it's still
in the relative 
planning stages, but this would also be a great
event for our two groups 
to team up together to host a star party for the
public if any of your 
members are interested.
Sincerely,
- Denise Stephens
