Oops, meant "clearer than ever" -- that's what happens when I don't get enough sleep. jb ________________________________ From: Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thu, April 15, 2010 3:31:40 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Anyone been to pit n pole recently? Just back from Pit'N'Pole -- Steve's recoating the secondary and my cleaning the corrector plate (both sides) turned out fabulous. Saw clearer than in many years, maybe clearing than ever before. Thanks, Joe PS: MAY CAN'T COME TOO SOON! ________________________________ From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wed, April 14, 2010 4:00:31 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Anyone been to pit n pole recently? Sounds like you got quick turn-around from Steve on your recoat job. Good luck! Maybe L&O meeting in May? May 1, anybody? On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 3:00 PM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:
Hi Chuck, Thanks -- my answers are I don't know. Hey, as El Presidente, why don't you set a date for an L&O feast? Best wishes and wish me luck tonight, Joe

Joe, out of curiosity, are you using a 4-cycle generator? (Quieter) Also, are you using a larger generator than you need? Have you calculated the total system draw?
I have also looked into after-market automotive-style mufflers for generators. They can quiet them down considerably. Most generators come with minimial, barely functional mufflers.

Hi Jo, When I went there last month for my disaster, I didn't notice anything funky about the road. But I drive a Jeep and maybe that's why. Anyway, I'll probably go there tonight. If you go too, hope you don't mind my generator noise or computer screen. Best wishes, Joe

We were wondering how the road was. We have not been there for years, and way back then, we had some problems with a really big dip in the road. I think it was where the turn off to the actual Pit 'n pole from the first dirt road was. We are pulling a trailer, and our Subaru does not have real high clearance, so I was wondering if others have noticed what shape the road is in these days
Thanks, Jo
