SLAS is having its annual Messier Marathon at SPOC this coming Friday and Saturday nights. We'll be using the Ealing for the marathon. The refractor is not the best for deep sky (it's a 200 mm f/16.8) so we'll probably use it for the planets If you have never seen Jupiter and Saturn (especially Saturn) through a largish refractor this is your chance. This is not a public event but members of other clubs are welcome to attend. Lots of room on the grounds around the observatory for portable scopes. Patrick
Hi this is Darren Moody. I was just wondering where the SPOC is located and what time everyone gets there Respectfully, Darren Moody ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Wiggins To: uvaa Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 7:11 PM Subject: [UVAA] Messier Marathon Friday and Saturday SLAS is having its annual Messier Marathon at SPOC this coming Friday and Saturday nights.
