My cell is 801~380~3331. The blue one in the photo was offered as available by a guy on the list, as was at least one other scope in the SLC area, and if you needed to use my larger one, I'm sure we could work out some kind of arrangement. Good luck with your film! /R --- On Tue, 9/1/09, Danielle Clemenza <danielleclemenza@yahoo.com> wrote:

Danielle,

I've had a few people respond in the Salt Lake area; you could probably even use the Salt Lake Astronomical Society observatory, or possibly one of the SLAS member's backyard observatory to film if you don't want the expense of re-creating one.  Here's one example of a scope that was volunteered: http://homepage.mac.com/dlbennett/PhotoAlbum28.html There are other, fancier alternatives.  I just can't seem to get any of them to reply to YOU!  They all seem to think I'm the go-between.  Oh well.  I do also have two telescopes, but as I said earlier, I live South of Salt Lake (about an hour's drive), but would be willing to help you in a pinch.  Here' s a picture of my bigger telescope: http://www.astroday.net/Images/RichTenney.jpg Though I suspect you might want something more "traditional" looking, or...?

What dates are you planning on being here to film? /R

 The homemade telescopes would be used in his at-home observatory.  :)

Danielle, I'm CC'ing the Utah Astronomy mailing list for takers (I actually live about an hour south of SLC).  Hopefully   there are plenty that might be interested; I'll let them reply to all...

What is the film, out of curiosity? Regards, /Rich

(any other sort of astronomyhomemade   gear as well.)Does your society happen to have any of these that we may be able to rent from you for a fee?  If not, would you happen to have any recommendations of somewhere in the area that might?Thank you so much for your time!  I look forward to hearing from you soon.Best,Danielle Clemenza
