Glen Warchol is selling some eyepieces in order to upgrade. Unfortunately he does not mention pricing. Here is a list he sent me:
33mm Rini Supra-Plosslistic ! 15mm Pocono Plossl (very rare!) 9mm Orion ortho (might hang on to it cause it's good, but I never use it.) 7mm ortho 11.5mm Unitron Kellner (the eye lens is delaminating) .965. 24mm wide angle Russell (some sort of hybrid-Ortho-kellner?) 20mm Celestron plossl. 14mm Russell brass Koenig
Please address all questions & offers to Glen at: glenwarchol@sltrib.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway http://promotions.yahoo.com/design_giveaway/
Hi Friends, after Patrick sent out his latest News, I checked the item about Mars, then the raw images the rovers have been sending back. Among the latest was the one whose URL I'm posting below. It's an eerie and somehow beautiful Mars view, and I thought some of my fellow red planet nuts might enjoy seeing it. I've been pondering why the exposed rock seemd to conform to the shape of the dune-like material. Also, inside Eagle Crater where Opportunity landed, the famous rock ledge on the crater side slopes down with the crater. I think that wouldn't happen if these formations were the top of a deep, hard layer of rock. Instead, I am wondering if loose material below the rock may deform, allowing a thin layer of rock to shift into rougnly the same contours as the sand. Any thoughts? best wishes, Joe http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/n/072/1N134591492EFF1000P1803L0...
Hi Joe: The rock doesn't conform to the sand, both the sand and the rock conform to the general shape of the crater. Ground under a crater is a shocked, shattered mess. But my guess is that the bedrock is where it was immediately after the impact and any sand formations are just random formations of the moment. The crater has probably been completely covered and uncovered hundreds of times by blowing sand, since it's formation. It would be interesting to know for sure if the crater formed before or after the H2O episodes; I'm guessing before, or water evidence would have been severely modified or eliminated by the impact.

Very interesting analysis -- I'm still puzzling over the sequence -- jb
Joe I have to admit that the only time I check the rover pages is when you or Patrick post of something interesting, so I am not up to date on current photos or scientific analysis. I'm counting on you to wade through the rough and find the nuggets. Has there been any scientific speculation on a chronology at the site? C. --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:

Not too much on chronology that I know of, except Rover scientists believe the rocks were laid down in "gently flowing liquid water," a description posted by Cornell University. (It's hard to understand how it could be gently flowing if it wasn't liquid, but that's an issue for the Department of Redundancy Dept.) -- Joe
