Re: [Utah-astronomy] Government funded observing platforms
Tuscon has very tight light ordinances due to Kitt Peak. I was at Kitt Peak in 2004 and was impressed by Tuscon's lighting. Though, even with the light ordinances I'm sure Tuscon's growth and the subsequent light is affecting Kitt Peak. My girlfriend (now wife) and I spent the night with Adam Block on the 20" visitors scope doing some astrophotography. An amazing night is all I can say! Here is one of the 3 photos that were taken that night: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap040409.html Bruce Hugo Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. - Edwin Powell Hubble ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:55:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Government funded observing platforms Message-ID: <1377626143.14666.YahooMailNeo@web125102.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I thought Tucson was the Arizona city with good light ordinances. -- Joe

Kit Peak does great outreach with the public, as I recall they have quite a few public stargazing events. And yes wow, great photo, thought you were newer to astronomy than that.
Wow, Bruce, congratulations! That's a great picture and I'm glad to see you and your (now) wife also received credit! -- Joe

Beautiful 'picture, Bruce. I was in Tucson earlier this year for the NEAF-type show and was impressed with the city. Just no time to visit Kitt, but did get some time on the Clark in Flagstaff. Hope to get back there next year. 73
