Re: [Utah-astronomy] nice publicity
You can check the calendar on line and see if other events are planned for new-moon weekends. I was surprised when I saw it too. -- Joe ------------------------------ On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 2:26 PM MDT Chuck Hards wrote:

There have been several comments about this coming weekend being a new moon weekend and our scheduled public star parties. Technically, it is between the third quarter and new moon. The weekend of April 12 and 13 is actually closer to the new moon weekend. I think there is one other case later in the season that has the same situation. When putting the schedule in place, we looked at the options on this and planned these as shown on the SLAS website. Thanks Rodger C.

Seems it could go either way, don't think it has ever been "technically" defined. Personally I like the period between last quarter and new moon. After a few crescent moons they start to get annoying, especially with the longer daylight hours.
There have been several comments about this coming weekend being a new
moon weekend and our scheduled public star parties. Technically, it is between the third quarter and new moon. The weekend of April 12 and 13 is actually closer to the new moon weekend. I think there is one other case later in the season that has the same situation. When putting the schedule in place, we looked at the options on this and planned these as shown on the SLAS website.
