I may have met him. But I will make it a point to try and locate him at the next star party. Thomas N.

He was a SLAS member for several years prior to moving to Beaverton in 2001. Haven't heard from him in a while. Say "hi" for us if you run into him at one of your star parties (he owns a 20-inch TeleKit dob). Rich --- "Corr, Tom" <TCorr@co.linn.or.us> wrote:

My work address is Albany, which is the only town of any size (almost 50,000) between Eugene and (20 miles south of) Salem. My residence is in Lebanon, about 15 miles southeast of Albany. We are blessed with a very beautiful and green world. The source of that beauty is, of course, rain --sometimes as much as 68 to 70 inches a year. The absolutely beautiful, clear skies of winter comes with cold air (not near as cold as you deal with, but we have "wet" cold that seems to penetrate to the bones) and dew. When we do have clear skies in the summer, we often have to dodge the areas hampered by harvest dust. My wife and I have a 10" Meade SCT and just finished building from scratch a 12.5" Dobsonian. We also have an 80mm Celestron refractor. Despite the challenging weather, we spend a lot of time at the eyepieces. We both have taken several college courses on observational astronomy, cosmology, and general astronomy. We are members of the Portland-based Rose City Astronomy Club, but because of the distance do not participate in its meetings. We do, however, attend the annual star party in August.

Tom and Tina

Many clubs publish their own, but don't have the detail of the RASC Observer's Handbook. I've bought one very year since I began seriously observing over 15 years ago. I recommend it for both beginners and old hands.

I used to live in Eugene (oh so many years ago) but I don't remember where Albany is. Do you have good observing opportunities from where you live?

Thanks, I thought it might have been a local (club) publication.

Observer's Handbook is just that, an astronomical observing handbook published by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (I think I got the name right). It's a great tool. I believe Sky Publishing may have it available.

Kim: what is an "Observer's Handbook"?

If I've understood my Observer's Handbook, Sunday's triple shadow transit on Jupiter should occur around 1:00 AM MST. Is anyone else planning an observing trip for this event? I'm thinking of SPOC, possibly Skull Valley.
