I'm much more accurately called an occasional stargazer than an amateur astronomer. I own binoculars, but not a telescope and the only star parties I've been to have been at Mark Dakin's old house up Hobblecreek Canyon and a couple down on the valley floor. Having said that, when I can find the time I like to get out and see the stars or whatever else is in our sky. While I couldn't make it on Saturday (I was at Zion N.P.) I would like to go to the gravel quarry sometime. Having never been there, I'd need slightly better directions than "east of Park City." Rich, do you or anyone else reading this have directions or GPS coordinates for me? I'm looking at a map of that area and I can see "Quarry Mountain" to the north of Park City, but since that isn't really east I'm assuming you're talking about someplace else. What about this place called "the wedge" I hear people refer to? Coordinates or directions to that anyone? Anyone else have a favorite observing spot they'd like to share? I appreciate it. :) Steve
