OK, change of plan: Let's try the Gravel Quarry tonight (Thursday) up by Park City. Forecast has PC temps in the mid 40's tonight, figure the quarry will be a few degrees colder but it should e above freezing all night. If anyone wants to convoy down to the Wedge tomorrow I'm planning on leaving mid afternoon, we could meet at the Lehi I-15 Exit and meet the Albertson's parking lot, maybe 3 or 4pm? Send me a private e-mail and copy the board if you're interested. Bob Taylor
Robert (et al), I'd be interested in either one, but my strong preference would be Pit 'n' Pole, despite the dew warning and the fact that I DO have to work tomorrow! It's closer to home (for me), and has a much better southern horizon, and that's where I plan to spend most of my observing time hunting galaxies in Virgo.

OK, I'll make the call; Rich because you're the only one of us with stated targets we'll give you the priority. Let's go back to the Pit N Pole. It should be a good 10 degrees warmer than the Gravel Quarry, it might dew-up, but we shouldn't get a frost and skies look fairly good till after midnight when the transparency should degrade a little, although it still won't be bad. I'm going to be away from e-mail for a while.

If you folks don't mind, I might join you (I still need to check with the wife). However, I've only been to the Pit N Pole once and I don't remember the way. How does one get there? Thanks.

Chris, The directions are on the uvaa.org web page. The page is currently unavailable (4:14 pm) but should be within the next hour (I had to update the IP address and it usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour to propogate). Call me if you can't access them before you leave and I'll try to coach you there from memory. My cell is 380 3331 Rich --- Chris Russell <chris@therussells.net> wrote:

Well, for what it's worth, I spent much of my Thursday night at Bryce. Arrived in late afternoon to partly cloudy skies but by the time I finished my lecture it had cleared off and the sky was incredible! But then, I guess an incredible sky at Bryce isn't all that unusual, is it? Now I'm home and have my observatory open trying to get pictures of the aftermath of a GRB I was just alerted to. No luck so far and I'm down to about mag 19/20. Not Bryce skies, but still very nice. Patrick
