Thanks Chuck. Just thought I would tell you I feel your pain.

One pretty neat prominence, a few spots, and some surface detail as seen in the PST. Way too hazy for a backyard session tonight. May the folks at Wolf Creek fare better over the next few nights! My daughter is staying-over for the next couple of nights, so even though there probably won't be any telescope activity, it will be good to spend some time with her. I'll be making her breakfast in the morning, and I'm sure she'll have some weird request, as if this were a restaurant. And I wouldn't have it any other way. :-) _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.

by Chuck Hards 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

This Saturday, August 18th, Left Fork Grill. *68 W 3900 S, Salt Lake City, UT * ** All we need is a time. Some people have contacted me off list and prefer a 1:00 pm time, since they have to travel from Davis County and have morning committments. I can go at any time. Majority rules. Post up in the next day or two so we can decide on a time by Thursday. Bring something astronomical or scientific for show-and-tell. Thanks!

I have really had a summer of camping story's. Everything is fine, trailer is working great. Generator is about ten feet from the bees. And charging battery. Cloudy right now up here, I am really wishing for some clearing the next few nights. I thought my bee story would be a real stinger on this forum.

More fun camping
by Mark Shelton 14 Aug '12

Here is a good one. I am up at wolf creek and setting up my generator. I pick it up and take it into the trees, hit a rock and trip. I land right on a bee hive. I kid you not. My legs are stung. What a morning. The bees were in a small log on the ground. Got to love camping
