This will be in Tuesday's News, but I thought some of you here might like a preview. Here are links to a video I shot near Delta this morning of the Spica graze: http://www.trilobyte.net/paw/SPICA25DEC2005.MOV (1 MB) http://www.trilobyte.net/paw/SPICA25DEC2005.AVI (10 MB) From my location the graze lasted about 2:10 but to keep the file size as small as possible I edited out the sections where nothing was happening and converted it to two different formats. Video runs about 47 seconds. Both links go to the same video, the only difference is the format. Mac users should be able to play both versions but those with non-Mac boxes will probably have to go with the larger AVI file (although I have heard from 2 Windoze users who have been able to run the MOV videos I posted the other day). It was a fun trip but I did find it a bit odd going to bed at 1:00 this afternoon. Patrick

I was between two stations and it was fun to hear the shout each would make into a tape recorder as they saw an event. Listening to them while watching my monitor I could see the views at all stations were quite different. One of the others set up seven camcorders along the observing line. However, all of the others were from back east and were in a rush to get back to SLC to catch their flight so I did not get to see the other tapes. Patrick
Who's Paris Hilton, and how did she get on my screen? What was that link again? ;) Quoting Patrick Wiggins <paw@trilobyte.net>:
