Let me clarify point 2. I think their complaints about SLAS business being discussed on this board was appropriate.

(Was: Pretty spectacular prominences today) First, there are 69 people on SLAS-talk and 250+ on UA. Don't think that qualifies as everyone has moved to SLAS-talk. Secondly, some UA posters did not like SLAS business being discussed on this board, which IMHO is totally appropriate. SLAS-Talk is where SLAS business can be discussed appropriately. Third, UA has a broader membership of all persons interested in astronomy throughout the state, for example the Ogden members and Utah valley members, as well as the St. George members not just members of SLAS, That implies broader networking and I like that a lot. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 10:17:31 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] UA to SLAS Talk? (Was: Pretty spectacular prominences today) Not everyone wants to be on Facebook. I know several who positively won't use the site. It would not be fair to force all interested in Utah astronomy issues to open Facebook accounts. And while technically SLAS Talk isn't only for SLAS members, its name sure implies it is. Utah Astronomy, however, has no such implication.

(Was: Pretty spectacular prominences today) Sieg's is not the first mention here on Utah-Astronomt of stuff on SLAS Talk. With so many folks having migrated from Utah-Astronomy to SLAS Talk, anytime I've something to post these days I have to decide which of the two places to post it. (I'd prefer to not post to both places as I'm pretty sure most that moved to SLAS Talk still have a UA account). So I'm wondering. Is it time to think about closing Utah-Astronomy and have everyone move to SLAS Talk? SLAS Talk, BTW, is not just for SLAS members, rather it's open to all. Thoughts? patrick On 20 Aug 2015, at 21:44, Siegfried Jachmann <siegfried@jachmann.org> wrote:
I posted a picture of two of them on SLAStalk. The long bridge didn't come out good enough. On Aug 20, 2015 9:33 PM, "Wiggins Patrick" <paw@digis.net> wrote:
Thanks for the heads up John. I had a look late this afternoon. I think that's the first time I've seen three huge prominences so close together and taking up a quarter of the entire limb. On 20 Aug 2015, at 11:25, John M. Craig <jmcraig@xmission.com> wrote:
Hi Folks,
Although the smoke's pretty obvious here in N Utah, H-a light comes through with remarkable clarity. There's some pretty great prominences today. If you have the gear and the daylight time, enjoy!
If you'd like to have a look through my scope (I'm in Orem), you can contact me off the list.
Ciao,
John
