Re: [Utah-astronomy] Omega Cen. from Bryce Canyon Star Party June 1-4, 2005
I saw it in binoculars last spring through the light pollution of Hurricane. I may have to go out to Warner Valley, where we were last month, to get a better view. I viewed it through my 15" Obsession at Black Rock Rd, AZ back in 2002. My scope was all the way down when I viewed it. It was huge and bright. I would like to see it higher in the sky someday.

It would be interesting if I could spot Omega Centauri from there.

Theoretically it can be seen from as far north as SLC but it only gets a bit over 1 degree above the southern horizon.
It has been seen from Rush Valley.
From Bryce (and St. George) it reaches about 5 degrees.
In early June it transits about 2215 MDT.

But just wait until you see it from the Australian Outback... Patrick
I didn't realize that Omega Centauri could be seen this far north. I suppose I will have to add that to my list of "things to see on roadtrips" I have always wanted to go to New Zealand, as for Austrailia, there are just too many poisonous creepy things there. =) ~Jon

Jon I may have a solution. I've always wanted to dive Australia, and having been married to a certain woman in a previous life, poisonous, creepy thinks no longer bother me. My problem is the air fare. If you decide you want to go to Australia, you handle the air fare, and I'll take care of the poisonous, creepy things... ;) Not kidding! ;) Guy Quoting Jon Christensen <coldari@msn.com>: I have always wanted to go to New Zealand, as for
