Greetings Earthlings, Ron Vanderhule here. I am a few months into my third tenure as president of OAS and as any person in this position I am constantly stirring the waters looking for something or someone of interest to schedule a meeting around. In the past I have solicited for ideas and speakers here and have been fortunate enough to get some good ideas and good speakers (again Roger, Joe thanx) for our meetings. So one more time, just throwing it out there, what has SLAS done for some really good meetings that we might consider for ours? Or if some one on this list has a project or topic they would like to present to our club, we pay for fuel if you drive very far. Post your ideas here or send to me <deepsky100@msn.com>. And Meter Mike has already been gracious enough to speak at a meeting for us in Oct. That was a no brainer :::)))) And while I have your attention, my friend here in Layton still has a 4 inch f/15 Unitron on Alt Az mount and turret eyepiece set up, 70mm and 30mm finder scopes, solar projection set-up, all in the velvet lined wooden case with the original literature. A true classic instrument. I am pretty sure he is at about $900.00 asking price! Someone needs to jump on this. He also has a 10 inch Meade reflector on a GEM for $400.00 The mirrors are spotless as is the tube. He inherited these from his Dad and has no interest in the hobby. That is why the prices are so reasonable. Contact me also concerning these items. I have photos. Thanx, Ron
Thank you Ron, you also might like to post this on the Internet, such as the site of the Utah Astronomy Club or the Utah Astronomy Group. And with your permission I'd like to post this on the SLAS Talk site. I'm next year's SLAS vp and am anxious to forget closer ties with your splendid club. Are you going to St. George in February or so?
