OK, I get you. This is a quick, one day outing, there and back. I was just thinking that since it will be New Moon, some people were planning on piggybacking some night-time observing from southern Utah, in the same trip, and kill two birds with one stone.

I don't think a lot of people will be photographing the eclipse; at least, when we went to the annular in New Mexico, it was largely a viewing experience. I had my 8-inch along and don't think I bothered to track. For something as short as a series of eclipse photos I don't think I would even need auxiliary power for my laptop, but would for my SBIG camera -- just one battery. Anyway, nobody has to go who doesn't want to. I just thought it would be a pleasant club outing. Thanks, Joe
