I also live close to the park and actually have a pretty good view in my backyard (to the south & west anyway). I live close to the lake so naturally the sky is darkest to the South-West. In the summer I can easily see detail in the milky way. The north & east are pretty bad though, especially because of BYU stadium (I've never understood why they need to leave those bright parking lot lights on all night, year-round). ---------- From: David Trevino Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 5:46 PM To: Utah Valley Astronomy Association Subject: Re: [UVAA] Workshop Sorry I couldn't stay longer last night. Thanks for the colimation instructions and the main moon features. I wanted to do some observing after a few days of cloudiness and rain. For those who stayed, I am curious on how much you were able to see, and what rating would you give the viewing conditions. I live close to the park so I sort of share the same light polution from my backyard. TIA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
