I have been so busy moving I didn’t see anyone mention the Bryce Canyon trip on the list. As for me I enjoyed it thoroughly. I planned on staying Thur and Fri nights but I had to cut it short due to moving concerns. Chuck, I set up the Galileo’s on your mount and had several people ask about it. One guy took pictures of it, so I gave him your email address at Yahoo. He commented on what an “elegant design” it was. I had to agree. On Thursday night the skies cleared up after a day of threatening weather. Before the sun went down I got the Galileo’s set up with my also Chuck Hards sun filters on them. The sun didn’t have a blemish on it. I got my 12.5” Newt/Dob collimated with the help of Bob Taylor and others. With a glance up and down the line there were a bunch of scopes anticipating where Polaris was going to show up as the sky darkened. I enjoyed talking to the SALSers before things got going. After that there was not time. When the rangers opened the gates there was a surprising (to me) flood of folks that came to observe. I had a constant line of interested observers at my scope and I am sure everyone else did too until the rangers called for the last shuttle. The kids are always the most fun listening to their comments. I am hooked. I will be back next year and hope to get my family to take their kids next year too. Jim
