Hey Patrick, definitely Timp -- you can see the sleeping Indian princess. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Kim <kimharch@cut.net> To: 'Utah Astronomy' <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2012 10:13 AM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Timpanogos I didn't look closely before, but I think you're right Kelly. I had assumed that Patrick's picture was of the east slope of Timp and that he was flying over Sanpete Valley, but the shadows are wrong. Here's a nice pic of Timp's west slope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Timpanogos_at_sunset.jpg and here's another of the east slope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mt_Timpanogos_s2000.jpg. Patrick, there is indeed a metal structure (aluminum, as I recall) at the summit. It is an open frame with a pyramidal roof, solidly guyed to the rock. I have no idea who put it there or why.

But (and somebody please correct me if I'm wrong) that mountain looks a lot more like Mt. Nebo than Timp. Here's a link to a picture of Nebo on wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Nebo_from_Y_Mtn.jpg That said, Mt. Nebo would be an even better spot for the scope since it is the highest peak in the Wasatch range. ~Kelly _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
