Hi there, I am planning on coming to the Wed mars watch. I think I might have persuaded some of my friends to abandoned their other plans to attend as well. I emailed Glen Warchol about the binoculars for sale but I have not heard from him so I guess he sold them. I am very interested in them so if you get any more leads let me know and I will be very grateful. Thanks for our efforts, Kami ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Tenney" <retenney@yahoo.com> To: "Utah-Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com>; "UVAA" <uvaa@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 9:14 AM Subject: [UVAA] Mars watch in Lindon Wednesday
For anyone in Utah County that doesn't have a telescope and wants to see Mars I will have the 16-inch set up in my back yard Wednesday night and will welcome anyone that wants to come have a peek, starting at 11 pm. I live right next door to a church, so there's plenty of parking. I'm willing to keep it set up until 2 a.m. at the latest, unless interest dies down before then on a work/school night.
I live at 54 N. Canal Drive in Lindon. Take Lindon Center street East of State Street (there's a Walkers Gas/Taco Bell and a car dealer on the corner where you turn) approx. 1 mile to Canal Drive (about 700 E.); turn left at the corner where the LDS church sits (Canal Drive). I'm the first house on the right (I share the fence with the church), gravel driveway, horses out back, etc.; Please park at the church. 801-785-4403.
Anyone else that wants to bring a telescope is welcome. I'm going to try and mitigate the lighting at the church with aluminum foil, assuming my extension ladder is tall enough to reach... ;-)
This is not an "official" UVAA party; if anyone else wants to do a public mars watch, feel free.
Rich.
