Re: [Utah-astronomy] Great Basin Star Party
Thank you guys for the kind words. One thing we try to do here is to give the visitor a personal experience. It's the least we can do because you allow us the privilege of watching over your national parks. Star Party Report: the evening turned out to be perfect. Not a cloud in the sky, not too cold, and a wonderful steady and transparent sky. Hot chocolate was a hit as well! A huge thank you to Matt and his family for their help and knowledge of the night sky! Best, Kelly Kelly Carroll Great Basin National Park http://www.nps.gov/grba/ Experience your America
I knew if I stayed home it would be perfect. Dave On Mar 6, 2011, at 9:30 AM, Kelly_Carroll@nps.gov wrote:

Such is my luck this year. Should have gone but it is such a long way to go if I end up being wrong on that. I am planning on going come new moon weekend in April. On Sun, Mar 6, 2011 at 12:40 PM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:

All; I'm a first time poster to this group and I know I am repeating much of what has already been said, but... Kelly and the crew there at Great Basin did a wonderful job of hosting the star party last night. As he reported, the skies were clear and very dark. The visitors at the star party were very appreciative and thankful for the views. We had folks from VA, NV and UT there to enjoy the sky with us. As all of you who have shown others the wonders of the universe through our telescopes have experienced, there were lots of oohs and aahs, and oh-my-gosh's when eager eyes looked through eyepieces. For me, that made the drive and the worries about the weather well worth it. I will definitely be back to help the staff at Great Basin with their ambitious astronomy program. On a more selfish note, I look forward to enjoying the excellent ski quality; it reminded my of the skies when I was a young boy in the '70's in the mountains of southern Utah. BTW Kelly, my daughters thoroughly enjoyed the Great Basin workbooks and their Jr. Ranger certificates all the way home; I thank you, and the other rangers, greatly for the outstanding time we had there. Keep up the great work, and keep being a dark sky ninja!
