Hello all, I'm a new member. I don't know if this is the proper format for asking this question, or if there's a web based searchable interface for list emails. Can anyone tell me if there's a location that's: 1. dark enough 2. high enough to avoid the inversion, and 3. if it's not too late to get good shots of Lovejoy on the eastern morning sky? Thanks in advance. Alan Neves KSL Videographer On Dec 31, 2013, at 11:13 PM, utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com wrote:

Praise from Caesar! Thanks, Tyler.
I was lucky to get it, conditions were terrible. All that saved me was the fact that I was shooting video and had thousands of frames to choose from. Most were throw-aways, and even the best weren't as good as they could have been in clear, steady air.

I found a neat tidbit in the 2014 Observers Handbook.
Page 254: "There is a predicted outburst from debris related to comet 209P/LINEAR on 2014 May 24, 7h-8h UT, from a radiant in Camelopardalis. The timing favors North American longitudes, and the moon will be four days before new. The models strongly suggest that the Earth will encounter much material from the comet- it is highly likely this will be the strongest meteor display of 2014 visible in North America."
That last line is printed in bold type in the Handbook.
I'm going to plan on seeing this one. It will be a great opportunity to try my old Russian ZENIT fisheye lens with my new DSLR.

Thanks for posting this Chuck. I've added the event to my calendar.
If the proposed star party schedule is approved at next month's meeting there will be a star party in SLC the evening before and one at SPOC the evening after. Chance are I'll head straight from the ATS that's sure to follow the SLC star party to some place dark.
Here, BTW, is the IMO's 2014 calendar. It has a bit more data on the possible shower near the top of the "April to June" section: http://www.imo.net/calendar/2014

I'll have to try out my Rokinon Fisheye alongside you Chuck! Maybe we should organize a astrophoto party...
