Rest Easy Spielberg
I thought I would share this if you care to look. Obviously Steven Spielberg has nothing to fear but the Salt Lake Astronomical Society held a public outreach event at Wheeler Historic Farm on Friday June 24th and I took some pictures and some jittery video. We had a tremendous turnout with 22 telescopes, hundreds of participants and excellent suburban skies until near 11:00 PM. A great time was had by all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJjzs1q7O_c
Even Steve Speilberg had a starting point. This is your starting point. Good video, got the flavor of the evening.

It begs the question: Was the SPOC turnout Saturday as good? Do people residing in SL Co prefer the closer star parties.

The only improvement I would make would be more narrative about SLAS and what Star Parties are all about. To an outsider what was going on might be so clear.
Great job Steve!

Thanks, Joe! Just stood on Nates step stool with the camera at full arms length. I really would like to get a little more after dark shots but you know how people complain about flood lights at star parties and they look so "ghostly" in infared ;) I think I will use Eric's idea and try to patch together another video on "what to expect" at our star parties. I think that is a great idea. Steve

Steve,
Perhaps video from all of our venues, I bet we could get local news websites to include it in their content, at least we could post it on our Facebook page. I could be our best advertizing ever. It would relay exactly what the public can expect at a Star Party. The video quality was great it did not seem too jittery. Erik

Hi all. I'm at my new second home in Tropic - started work at Bryce NP last week. I just have a dial-up connection here so I can't see what y'all are talking about, but I saw a couple of mysterious objects last night that y'all might be able to help me identify. At about 10:55 MDT I saw a bright object from the Paria View overlook, low in the west. At first I thought it might be the ISS, but then I noticed that there were two objects moving in the same direction (north), about 1/2-degree apart. The leading object was a bit fainter than the other. Within about five seconds of my having spotted them, they began to fade out, similar to an Iridium flare. I would have dismissed the sighting if I hadn't seen TWO distinct objects. Any ideas?

A number of years ago, Patrick informed us of a missle launch from Vandenburg AFB that might be visible here in Salt Lake City. I went out on stood on my carport roof to see what I could see.

That's pretty interesting, Vandenburg is over 2000 miles from Hawaii maybe it was a sub launched test nothing in the paper or on TV here Aloha Rob
Yes, a Trident Missile.

This was also recorded by Keck cams, the UH88 The cam on PS1 here on Maui went blank 3 minutes before the event and then came back on after the event. PS1 is funded by the USAF go figure .........
EMP?

Rob, My two cents worth. Could it be that your equipment viewed the tail end of an expanding sonic compression caused by an aircraft going supersonic? As the compression wave expanded the surrounding air became so cold that water condensed, or, possibly, ice crystals formed at the edge. That’s all I could think of for the moment. If my “thinker” kicks in, again, I’ll give it another shot. Dave On Jun 28, 2011, at 6:10 PM, Rob Ratkowski Photography wrote:

Hi Dave I didn't se it, it was recorded by web cams on Maune Kea my thoughts were similar some sort of compression wave but I was thinking that a wave that size and so well formed should have had a 'boom' or rumble nothing reported. A mid ocean missile launch, don't know, I just wish I had seen it. One of our guys here that worded at the AF base here said it looked like a launch he's seen tests over 25 years thru a variety of sensors seems to be a missile launch Aloha rob
