A little more food for thought: my former employer at the State of Utah has a cool web based application so you can creat a map and store it to a url. I just did a quick and dirty one for SPOC: http://mapit.utah.gov/viewmap?args&mdatum27&mbox=382801:4495947:397907:4505… With this, you can simply create a map to some location, and send the URL to anyone, and they can see it.

Just as an aside, you may want to check in with your local public safety dispatch office (9-1-1)and make sure they know where SPOC is. For Tooele Co, the non emergency # is 435-882-5600. Working here at Valley Emergency Communications Center,( we do 9-1-1 dispatch for most of Salt Lake County) as the address data base manager, if we took a call from somebody and they told us #15 Plaza, we would be stuck. On the other hand, we have the ability to create an 'alias' so if somebody gives us a common name, we have a look up table for an actual address. For example, that restaurant nearby probably has an actual address, or the park does. You could mimic either of those.

Hello all. I used the one clear night we had last week to image three open clusters: M37, M38, and M67. I added the images to my Utah Astronomy gallery. All three were taken with a very bright moon, but I had to try some imaging since the sky was clear for the first time in recent memory! Here are the links to the thumbnail images... click the thumbnails for larger versions. http://www.utahastronomy.com/album16/Utah_Astronomy_M37 http://www.utahastronomy.com/album16/Utah_Astronomy_M38 http://www.utahastronomy.com/album16/Utah_Astronomy_M67 I hope someone out there enjoys them. Cheers, Tyler

Definitely enjoying your work Tyler! These images are lovely; it's fun to pick out the occasional "ruby" among the "sapphires" in these clusters. :o) A couple of good ones in the M37 image (off to the left of the cluster). Keep 'em coming! Rich --- Tyler Allred <tylerallred(a)earthlink.net> wrote: > I hope someone out there enjoys them. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

In Yahoo maps << maps.yahoo.com >> use the address: 80 East Millpond Road, Stansbury Park, Utah. Yahoo maps will not return 18 East Plaza Court. Yahoo gives the following directions and distances from downtown in the capitol city. Yahoo maps says it's 3.6 mi from exit #99 to Mills Junction traveling south on UT-36 (item 6 on the directions list a.k.a. "the second light") and 0.5 mi. from the Mills Junction ( from UT-36 travelling on UT-138 ) to Millpond Road (item #7 on the list). - Canopus56 Directions Show Turn by Turn Maps 1.

Re: [Utah-astronomy] What's on for tomorrows meeting?

May I offer an observation as someone who feels like he is on the "outside" watching? If anyone thinks my observation is wrong or unwelcome, I'll take my lumps. I doubt that the people who complained about your manner of responding to Jo's original question were "attacking" you. I think they were just frustrated by your apparent arrogance, and your follow-up that they should learn how to ask questions the way you want them to be asked. They probably don't appreciate your self-appointed role as the designated grammar teacher. Wouldn't it have been simpler for you to just say, "I do (ha ha.)" And then follow-up with a real answer? I have to admit over the short time I've been a member of the club I have noticed that you, yourself have a tendency to censure people and make cutting comments when you appear to be tired of their conversations. I think your friends are still your friends. They just felt annoyed. No offense intended. :)
