Hi I'm not sure I can make it just yet but... if you fellows end up at the Vernon site on Friday what would an Approximate lat and long be? and what time are you guys out there setting up? I'm new to this but know about red lights and being polite with that kinda stuff. -----Original Message----- From: uvaa-request(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: Monday, April 08, 2013 4:43 PM To: uvaa(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: UVAA Digest, Vol 62, Issue 3 Send UVAA mailing list submissions to uvaa(a)mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uvaa or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to uvaa-request(a)mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at uvaa-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of UVAA digest..."

The Forest Road sites are much darker than the Pit n Pole site which is off the Faust Road off of SR 73. Pit n Pole had a an SQM of around 21.11 or about NELM of 6.11; add .5 for eyes and conditions and that could go up to 6.61, about a 1/2 mag to mag less than the Forest Road sites. That and the Pit has much higher humidity there and we've had people driving down the road behind us shooting rabbits and stopping when they see us or we get their attention. That usually cost a good 40 min to dark adapt so we aren't going to the Pit any more. So anyway, I like the south of Vernon sites and it the weather clears this weekend, say Thursday or Friday I'll be heading out that way with a couple of others that I observe with. Fairview I'll probably have to hold off on until June's new moon.

Rogue planet discovered. The guy's a little odd but that also makes him entertaining. Enjoy (the clip is only a couple of minutes): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2kPQ0j_TLo&feature=em-unknown&list=TLUSdZf_…

Need help with a school star party Friday November 2nd in Provo's South Fork Canyon
by Richard Tenney 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

I've been asked to host a star party for 6th graders for a local (Pleasant Grove) elementary school; the number of invitees will in part depend on how many telescopes I can promise will be there. Big Springs Park in Provo Canyon's south fork is the site. Please RSVP if you can bring a scope to help me out that night (I'll be there with my 16" dob). Thanks in advance... /Rich

Transit of Venus -- I'll be setting up at the Novell campus in Provo
by Richard Tenney 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

If any of you want to join me, I'll be setting up my 6" Newtonian, and my 15x70 binoculars (mounted), equipped with solar filters of course, for the Transit of Venus next Tuesday, June 5th in the afternoon. This is the last opportunity (weather permitting!) in our lifetimes to see this rare astronomical event -- it won't happen again for over a hundred years (2117). I'm planning on setting up on the N.E. side of the "great and spacious" Novell high-rise building in the East Bay campus in Provo. If my info is correct, the transit should begin about 4:09 p.m. and go until sunset. Otherwise, if you have solar gear, I recommend you plan some kind of public outreach in your own neighborhood... Clear skies! /R
