Well, if your local to Salt Lake you do have one more opportunity to get out. It isn't a outreach event, it is 3 days of just observing out near Vernon for October 3rd, 4th and 5th unless we are clouded or rained out. Come out for all 3 if you want, come out for one if you want or don't come out if that is what you want. I will have an Orion XT10 set up for newer people to use and will train them how to use it (takes an hour or two to do this). I think Mat may bring his own ATM 8 inch scope that he has (it's up for sale also) for others to use. If the weather is good, and October usually is, its a great time to say good-bye to the summer objects and hello to the fall objects, and if you stay up late enough, to the winter constellations. SQM-L ranges in the high 21.69 to 21.75 range in the summer, with my best readings there being 21.88 and 21.85, so it is a dark site with some impact from the SLC light dome to the NE. Anyway, I know a few of us are going and are going to have a great time as long as the weather cooperates. No registration if you don't want, its laid back but bring your own services and water (Forest Service Toilets at the Vernon Reservoir a couple of miles to the east with camp grounds there. You can rough camp where we observe also). Oh, dress warm, it will get cold at night at that time of the year.
