Hi,
I will be attending the Great Basin Ntl. Prk event. Not having been to Lehman caves for 1/4 century is making me want to go. I've spoken with Kelly Carroll. They are doing a public observing program on Sat and Sun. So, anyone interested, come along.

Hello:
I'm looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at Capitol Reef this weekend. The viewing is at Panorama Point. This is one of the first viewpoint turnoffs after you enter the park from the west heading east from Torrey. I will be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights with the 20" Obsession.
Those of you who have never been to Capitol Reef will be in for a real treat. I have seen the darkest most spectacular skies anywhere at this park.
I noticed that Great Basin National Park is also doing something Labor Day Weekend. It's tough to have to make a choice as to which national park to go to. I've been to Great Basin to support their astronomy festival in the past. It was a couple of years ago that I enjoyed visiting with Seth Jarvis from the Clark Planetarium that was there with some of his family.
Capitol Reef is usually the "official" SLAS venue for the September and October private star parties because there is so much to do during the day and the night skies are so dark. This is not a public event, strictly for us to have a good time doing our own observing. Hope to see many of you there!

Debbie: All fair Questions. There NO pit toilets at Panorama Point but there are some nearby at Chimney Rock, just a few minutes walk or a very short drive way. The forecasted Temperatures are high's in the mid 80s lows are going to be in the low 50's during the evening, that's about right based on experience. Best to always be prepared to dress for temps 20 degrees below what's forecasted, so bring clothing for 32 degrees and you'll be fine. I'm going to bring my winter coat, I may not wear it but I'll have it with me. A wind breaker is a good idea and dressing in layers always works well as the temps drop steadily during the night. Usually it's pretty decent temps this time of year for viewing. A warm hat is always a good idea to maintain body heat while viewing. I would not anticipate real cold, it will get cool though. Better to over dress than under dress, astronomy never generates much body heat.

I would bet on lows in the 40's, better to prepare for coldest possible.
