The Observer's Guide to SLAS Star parties that I did earlier this year at: http://fisherka.csolutionshosting.net/astronote/plan/20100315SLASObservingGu... and http://fisherka.csolutionshosting.net/astronote/plan/20100315SLASObservingGu... contains an error. It lists the Dawn spacecraft arriving at Vesta on 8/11/2010. It arrives next year on 8/11/2011. Dawn will be flying by Vesta at about 0.2 AU one its last orbit lap before Vesta. My apologies for the error. Nonetheless, the August 13 star party will be an extraordinary night. The star party will occur on the night of the Persids peak and will feature a four planet wide conjunction at sunset (Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn). - Clear Skies - Kurt
