I would recommend Wolf Creek Summit. Here's a link to directions: http://www.uvaa.org/sitedirections/WolfCreek.html I'm also CC'ing the utah astronomy list to see if anyone closer to Ogden has other/better recommendations or are perhaps closer to where you are staying. Also check out slas.us website for upcoming star party info.

I am a low light, star trail and night photographer. I was wondering if you could suggest me places where there is minimum light pollution in the sky around Ogden (<200 miles). I wanted to shoot some snaps of the milky way and may be some star trails. A camping area with no tall trees and some canyons at a distance is perfect. Also, please let me know the details of the next star party. Thank you, Hemanth. -- Hemanth K. Nallagatla Phone: (864) 633 9009

Wouldn't it be nice if...

Wouldn't it be nice if they all included some simple astronomy apps. I think all of us here know astronomy as a hobby is greying. Maybe giving all of those kids astronomy apps might get a few interested in astronomy. patrick http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/19/apple-wins-30-million-ipad-contra…

Cosmic ray research in Utah
by Joe Bauman 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Dear fellow SLASers, I have uploaded 25 photos, with descriptions, concerning the U. of U. cosmic ray research in and near Delta. This was based on a trip Cory and I took with U. people on May 25, when the new radar facility was turned on -- an innovative way to search for massive cosmic rays using a TV carrier wave as a huge radar gun. Unfortunately, my SLAS gallery is nearly full and I can't fit all of these images on it. So I uploaded them to Facebook, both to the SLAS site and my own timeline. Everybody with Facebook should have access to the SLAS site. If somebody could create a section of our SLAS gallery for photos keyed to the club, I would upload them to it. I wish I didn't have to use Facebook for this. -- Joe https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.556382841078450.1073741828.140672…

Re: [Utah-astronomy] The SN that wasn't

Great pictures Patrick! But forgive my ignorance: the elongated object in the center that looks like a galaxy, is that the cosmic ray hit? Or is it the bright object to the upper right? Or have I missed seeing it in your photos altogether? ~Kelly > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:50:14 -0600 > From: Patrick Wiggins <paw(a)wirelessbeehive.com> > To: utah astronomy listserve utah astronomy > <utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com> > Subject: [Utah-astronomy] The SN that wasn't > Message-ID: <F2E00A2C-6069-45E9-9562-14672CE569A9(a)wirelessbeehive.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Well, for a few precious minutes I thought I'd finally caught a supernova > in the act. > > Alas, a confirming shot taken a little later confirmed only that I'd > managed to capture a cosmic ray hit in the act. > > http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/5879.jpg > > But it was fun while it lasted.

The SN that wasn't

Well, for a few precious minutes I thought I'd finally caught a supernova in the act. Alas, a confirming shot taken a little later confirmed only that I'd managed to capture a cosmic ray hit in the act. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/5879.jpg But it was fun while it lasted. Maybe next time... patrick
