Government funded observing platforms
Joe just alerted me to these. Looks like some would be ideal for setting up telescopes on. :) http://wchsutah.org/aviation/navigation-arrows.php Here is one near St. George: http://goo.gl/maps/iEV43 Anyone here know of ones closer to Salt Lake? patrick
Found one near SPOC where highway 36 meets I-80. Here is a site that provides coordinates: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/36622239 It shows the arrows to be at: 40° 42′ 16.11″ N 112° 15′ 12.50″ W Don't think I'd want to set up a scope there though... :) patrick On 26 Aug 2013, at 02:19, Patrick Wiggins wrote:

The arrow in St. George is very near my house. I didn’t know it was there. If you scroll over to Bloomington on Geronimo Rd. you can see my house. A red pickup is in the driveway and the Bloomington Petroglyph Park is across the street. Also, my house is the only one on Geronimo that has a pool. Easy to see from the air.

Nice home Dave. The park across the street from your home would normally be classified as a vacant field if found in any of the urban parks found here in northern Utah. Also, have you checked out the street view of your home? Zoom in on the front windows of your house and you'll see a reflection of the Google-mobile (always wondered what it looked like). ________________________________ From: Dave Gary <davegary@me.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 3:53 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Government funded observing platforms The arrow in St. George is very near my house.

Thanks, we like it. I saw that reflection and wondered where it was coming from. If you pan back out to the road you’ll see a weird-shaped blob on the road surface in the shape of a car, but no car visible in the street. The reflection of a car in my front window is clearly visible and it’s not one of my cars, nor is there a car on the street. Check out the blob on the street surface, though. Interesting. I did not know they had a Google-mobile. I assumed their shots were strictly from the air. Notice, too, that you can’t read the license plate on my pickup, but there is enough detail that you can see the two true-north lines struck on my driveway. I, usually, set up on the one near the northeast corner. It’s a little fainter than the one near the palm bushes directly in front of the house.

Google has an algorithm to detect and blur faces and license plates. They had a few privacy lawsuits in Europe over street view, and implemented that. The google cars used to be VW bugs and priuses driven by interns. Now they are working on autonomous vehicles. Dan -- Sent from my iPhone. Please pardon any mispelings or errors.

In the arched section of your window you can make out the google camera atop a mast. That's probably the the blob shadow that shows up on my street views. ________________________________ From: Dave Gary <davegary@me.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 10:32 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Government funded observing platforms Thanks, we like it.

Thanks, Mat. She was a double amputee in the last years of her life, and bound to a wheelchair, yet never let that get her down or keep her from her gardening or other activities that she enjoyed. I installed ramps at both her front and back doors and she got around pretty well up until her last year; I remodeled her bathroom so it had all the ADA assists I could think of. She lived only a few blocks from me so I was close by if needed. Her yard was a showpiece of floral splendor, she could grow things that I never had success with, and I'm no garden slouch. I hope Google doesn't re-shoot that particular street for many, many years. On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 12:06 PM, Hutchings, Mat <mat.hutchings@siemens.com>wrote:

The inside of his home was probably spotless as well. I have worked with hundreds of para's and quad's it can take them a lot to get by from day to day, always impressed with their courage, when it is so easy to give up. A split second can change you life fiorever.

Get a couple of screen caps while you can. They update street view every couple of years. What was the short story about slow glass? The glass recorded the view and could play it back? I remember the end of it with the guy always staring out his window, the neighbors thinking he's crazy, but he is seeing his dead wife gardening. Dan -- Sent from my iPhone.

Unfortunately, Google will eventually get around to updating your mother's street. The street where I live was just updated last year. It might be a good idea to get a screen shot of that image and store it in your computer (or print it out). ________________________________ From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 12:02 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Government funded observing platforms My mom passed away about a year ago, yet in the Google Street View of her house, there she is in the front yard, tending to her flower garden that she loved so much.

i don't know Google is busy mapping hiking trails so you can hike, minus the benefits.It may take them a while to update.
