We will be doing some events in Page, AZ. The line of totality passes just south of page while the sun is still almost 10 degrees above the horizon. I think it will be a good show if the clouds stay away. If anyone at SLAS is interested in helping us out, please shoot me an email.

Hi all,

Yesterday's thread about next year's annular eclipse got me thinking about conversations I've had with a few folks about their plans for the eclipse. Here are the variations I've heard so far:

1) Ride down to Kanarraville and back the same day on the bus(es) SLAS plans to charter for the event (with stops for lunch and dinner).

2) Attend the Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival and stay there to view the eclipse.

3) Attend the Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival and then leave there and drive to Kanarraville for the eclipse.

4) Drive their own vehicle from home to the eclipse and then either stay the night in the area or drive back home right after the eclipse.

5) Stay home and watch it on TV.

Ok, I made that last one up. :)

Which choices do folks here plan to pursue? No need to state a reason (though you are welcome to). Right now I'm just looking for numbers to take to next week's SLAS board meeting.

Clear skies,

patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php

------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 09:21:05 -0600 Mat, some months ago I purchased the Surplus Shed 6.1" f/1.25 triplet camera lens, when it was considerably discounted. My idea was to turn it into a dedicated astro-camera for either digital or film, and I still want to pursue this. It isn't really suitable for visual use. I was wondering if you thought it possible for your ATM group to look it over and either offer suggestions or take it on as a group project? Let me know and if interested, I'll bring it to the meeting on the 17th. Here is the Surplus Shed listing: http://www.surplusshed.com/pages/item/l13007.html ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 11:26:06 -0400 I and family will likely do #4.
