This is the first year I saw detail on Mars. I'm going to make sure I stay healthy for the 2018 and 2035 oppositions. Hopefully my eyes will still be good. Debbie

I have been using Orions' Sky Glow filter for Mars and it is really impressive in the fact that it reveals the three distinct areas. The polar cap is white and prominent with the more rugged areas immediately above it in a distinct grayish green and the rest of the planet where the area is smoother has a crowd pleasing coral/orange tone. The effect is also quite 3-D. Astro Physics is also selling a Moon Glow filter that really works well on the planet. It is a little pinkish but great detail. Ron Vanderhule

RE: [Utah-astronomy] 2 free Flagstaff openings for the Mars watch

I just talked to Tim, and he's too pooped from his adventures in Africa to do more this weekend, so your tickets should go to more energetic folks. We'll watch mars from SLC. What sort of private star parties are there this weekend, anyway? ----Original Message----- From: Joe Bauman [mailto:bau@desnews.com] Sent: Sun 8/24/2003 4:10 PM To: Visit http://www.utahastronomy.com for the photo gallery. Cc: Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] 2 free Flagstaff openings for the Mars watch Hi, sorry to just be getting back now -- I've been off work and not checking email because of the horrible flood of spam that has built up. One of the options is gone but the other is still available. It's for Friday night at the Lowell observatory.

Hi Folks, If someone happens to still have in their mailbox or archives the email that Brent Watson sent out recently stating that he would be unable to make it down to Flagstaff, I would appreciate a forwarded copy to dlbennett(a)mac.com. I mistakenly deleted my copy. Thanks so much, Dave

Guys' I was thinking of joining some of you people at Wolf Creek this weekend. I don't recall anybody responding to the initial invitation tho. Could we have another head count of potential attendees? There will be four of us from the Layton area? Anyone else? Ron Vanderhule, OAS member

Star Party at Bingham Creek Library
by Richard Brady 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

In the paper today, and last week on the radio, I saw/heard that there is also going to be a star party at the Bingham Creek Library in West Jordan. Is this a SLAS event or something else? The paper mentioned the Clark planetarium. Thanks for any info, Richard Brady
