Star-party protocol at SPOC2
by Chuck Hards 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Maybe Patrick or Siegfried could answer this: When we set-up in the parking lot, is it better to set up beside the car, or behind it in the traffic area? Setting up beside the car is safer, but eats up more real-estate. Any preference? C. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

ALCON/SPOC2 Star Party
by Chuck Hards 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Is anyone else on this list planning to set-up a scope at SPOC tomorrow night? It is my understanding that due to landscaping, all portable telescopes are to be set-up in the paved parking lot. I plan to be there with at least two scopes and parallelogram-mounted binocs. If the weather is iffy, I'll drive out anyway, just in case we get a break.

Re: [Utah-astronomy] Apology

Joe, You do far more than most reporters to advertise and promote astronomy. I figure the correction notice just gets us a little more publicity. 90% of the people who read it will never remember the club misname, but everyone who read it knows that something neat is happening at the U. Thanks for a great article, we really appreciate it! Now, if you had said astrology....:) Jo Grahn At 07:43 AM 7/30/2002 -0600, you wrote: >I sent this out earlier but the heading was that of the note I was using to >get the list server address.

Plastic barrel / CCD seminar
by Patrick Wiggins 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

I've got an empty plastic barrel, about 2/3 the size of an oil-type barrel that's left over from an old water softener. I was going to toss it out but it occurred to me that maybe one of you ATMs might have a use for it (maybe for mirror grinding?). If anyone can use it please let me know before Monday (when it will go to the dump). Patrick p.s. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate for tonight's CCD seminar at SPOC. Y'all come! You need not be a member of SLAS to attend.

Seeking container
by Patrick Wiggins 29 Jul '02

29 Jul '02

I'm trying to find an airtight, preferably see through plastic, container to keep my photometer in but everything I've found at the usual places like Fred Meyer & Wal-Mart are either too small or way too big. Inside dimensions are 12" x 14" x 6". Ideas? Patrick
