I was looking at a very nice website called Utah Skies last night which, for reasons unknown, I had never come across before. However, when I sent an e-mail to the "contact us" address, it bounced back as undeliverable. Anyone on this group know how to get in touch with them? (info@.. was the address that did not work.). And a reminder to any of you that are planning to register for Alcon 2002, that the registration fee goes up after Monday, so get those forms in the mail before then. For those of you who are not planning to attend, I urge you to take another look at our website, www.alcon2002.org and make sure you know what you are missing before you pass it up. I'd hate to have anyone feel that they would have gone, if they had only known that it was going to be that good.... By the way, if past conference registration patterns hold true, this one is definitely going to be one of the best attended ones ever. Jo
Jo, Questions for you: What night(s) will Mr. Dobson participate with the star party/ies? Will he be at Spoc2 or Antelope Island (or both)? Also, is the extra fee for these events also in force for those who are bringing scopes to participate? Your (or any other person on this list qualified to) timely answer is much appreciated!

All, I spoke with Jo Grahn today (Sat) and got clarification that if you are participating in the star parties at Alcon, you do not need to pay the $9 fee -- that is intended to cover transportation costs for guests. Also, if your registration is postmarked by June 3 (which is Monday) the cost is $85. Rich __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Rich, Thanks for posting that. Between the backed up sewer at our office this weekend (and we're in the basement,), the brownout killing our freezer, and my internet access going down, I'm way behind. I checked with Lowell about John Dobson's presence at the star parties, and Lowell says John is planning on attending both of them. I would add my own caveat. He is getting up there in age, and so I could see him getting worn out and changing his mind. But Lowell did say that John sounded very excited about attending both star parties. Last Call, all registrations postmarked today will be accepted at the lower registration fee. If there is a problem, feel free to e-mail or call me. Jo Richard Tenney wrote:
