Utah Astronomy list members, the annular solar eclipse of 2012 is now in the rearview mirror and we look forward to your participation with the SLAS/NHMU Venus transit event at the Natural History Museum on June 5th. We are well on our way to an outstanding event.You need not be a member of SLAS or the Museum to participate. We would love to have you bring your solar equipment to the museum and view this event from a prime Salt Lake location and share with the public. If you would like to observe with us, your RSVP would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to Steve Fisher at www.iotacass1@hotmail.com and I'll make sure you get the observing spot you need. Thanks in advance. Steve
I just noticed that the museum has also placed a link on their front page (http://nhmu.utah.edu) that leads to the web page they've created for the event (http://nhmu.utah.edu/tov-2012). The latter, BTW, includes a couple of nice mentions of SLAS and a link to SLAS's website. Let's just hope that all those people showing up there that day doesn't cause the Wasatch fault to let loose. :) patrick On 22 May 2012, at 10:36, Steve Fisher wrote:

What bothers me about the museum's promotion is that it indicates a person can attend for the price of admission. An event like this should be a free public service. -- Thanks, Joe ________________________________ From: Steve Fisher <iotacass1@hotmail.com> To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 8:54 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Venus Transit at NHMU And if you are on Facebook you can go here http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/228107553971438/228952260553634/?notif_t=p... and let them know you are planning on attending.

Not to worry Joe. Steve, correct me on this if I've got this wrong, but I believe the public will be able to look through all the scopes on the downstairs walkway, visit the various booths, bookstore, restaurant and even (for the first couple hundred) pick up a free pair of NASA supplied Sun viewing glasses all for free. patrick
someone asked on the facebook event page if there was an additional charge, here's what the museum's marketing director (who presumably handles their facebook page) answered: "The extra activities for the Transit of Venus are included in regular admission."

Steve (Fisher) what have you heard? Unless they change the layout the public is not asked for a ticket until they leave an area indoors called The Canyon and most of the scopes will be on the walkway outside the building. Maybe marketing person is referring to the solar telescope and the upstairs patio. I'm doing a program there tomorrow afternoon. They guy I'll be working with then is the same guy that's organizing the Tranist Watch so I'll make it a point to ask him. Steve? patrick On 22 May 2012, at 22:52 , Chrismo wrote:

Right, clearly the public will be able to see things outside for free, but I doubt that the museum is going to turn down any opportunity to sell a ticket either. On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 11:11 PM, Patrick <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
