Hi Folks, For those who aren't heading to the Wedge or the Gravel Pit or Wolf Creek or....let me offer a 'local' alternative: Mark Bloomenthal is hosting a private star party for some of his friends from the Wasatch Mountain Club tonight at SPOC using the 16" Ealing starting at dusk and going 'til 11:30p or so. Patrick Wiggins will be opening the 8" Brandt refractor in the adjoining bay as well. Mark has invited those with scopes from SLAS and the other clubs along the Front to join in the fun. Kim Hyatt and I will be going out to join them. Sorry for the late notice...I think it was mentioned in Patrick's News a few days ago too. Dave Bennett
