Need help with a school star party Friday November 2nd in Provo's South Fork Canyon
I've been asked to host a star party for 6th graders for a local (Pleasant Grove) elementary school; the number of invitees will in part depend on how many telescopes I can promise will be there. Big Springs Park in Provo Canyon's south fork is the site. Please RSVP if you can bring a scope to help me out that night (I'll be there with my 16" dob). Thanks in advance... /Rich
I might be able to make it there after work, but not 100% sure, (depends on whether I get out of work on time or not) I could either take my 10” dob or my usual imaging setup of CCD + laptop (I use a red filter on the laptop screen that cuts all the white light off and keeps it pretty dimmed)
Any help would be appreciated! /R ________________________________ From: Jorge Gutierrez <gotfoxx@hotmail.com> To: Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com>; UVAA <uvaa@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 11:52 PM Subject: Re: [UVAA] [Utah-astronomy] Need help with a school star party Friday November I might be able to make it there after work, but not 100% sure, (depends on whether I get out of work on time or not) I could either take my 10” dob or my usual imaging setup of CCD + laptop (I use a red filter on the laptop screen that cuts all the white light off and keeps it pretty dimmed) _______________________________________________ UVAA mailing list UVAA@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uvaa

I need to check my schedule, but I think it is probable at this time. I can bring an 8 inch reflector, 6 in reflector and 80mm refractor. David O.
