I'd consider myself a light to moderate member, and I think I agree with the general sentiment expressed by Kurt and Chuck. The thing I like about southern and central Utah is going there, seeing it, camping in it and being with a friendly group of fellow astronomers. If I wanted to use a robotic scope, I'd probably just hop on slooh.com or join one of the many survey groups going over material from one of the historic surveys. I think Chuck's right about the maintenance. I've observed that there's almost nothing in central Utah that's not been decorated with bullet holes. I'd think a little dome might be an irresistable target for a particular class of bonehead. Personally I enjoy having places like Bryce, Capitol Reef and the new opportunity at Great Basin. Patrick, Kim and many others have done a lot of work to open these places up for us. We get to enjoy really dark skies at the cost of a tank of gas and a little show-and-tell. Of course there's no real research going on, but those who have research inclinations seem already to have invested in that little shack out back. Michael
