Timp Cave Star Party / Dark Sky Summer Program - looking for volunteers
I got this in my inbox today: Hi Rich,Timpanogos Cave National Monument would like to start a Dark Sky program this summer. We are partnering with the US Forest Service to present two programs this summer on the importance of preserving our night skies against light pollution. We are looking for an astronomy club to assist with a program in July and one in September. After a short presentation by a Ranger, we would like to have some telescopes available, with astronomers to introduce our visitors to interesting features of space and the night sky. If your club would be interested and willing to help with our new program, please contact me at this e-mail address or the phone number below. Thank you, -- Bonny ArmstrongBiological Science TechnicianTimpanogos Cave National MonumentAmerican Fork, Utah801-756-5238 x503 It turns out I will be in Sweden the first two weeks of July this year, but can do the September Event. Is there anyone on either list that could manage the July event? This is a really big deal, IMO, getting more National Park and Forest Service personnel interested and involved, and I don't want to blow this opportunity to make Utah a much more dark-sky friendly place! Please contact me directly (don't just hit reply to these lists) if you can help out in July. The dates she has in mind are the either the 10th or 11th, or the 17th or 18th (new moon is the 16th). These are Fridays/Saturdays. She has no idea yet how much interest this will generate. Her guess was 50, but I'm thinking it could turn out to be much higher. I'd like to get at least 5 scopes and operators there. /Rich Tenneyretenney@yahoo.com
Rich, I attempted to send you a direct email to the address you provided in your email (Tenneyretenney@yahoo.com). Both times it bounced. Do you have another email address I could send to?
