We are again hosting a star party for Timpview H.S. astronomy students (and others who are interested) in South Fork Canyon Friday, 8 October, 2010, starting at dusk (sun sets about 7:00 p.m.). Help is needed as we are expecting as many as 200 folks! If you have a scope, or are interested in informing attendees about the night sky, please come! I'll be bringing my 16" dob, and will probably start setting up around 6:30 pm or so. Directions: From the mouth of Provo Canyon (starting the odometer where 800 North in Orem Crosses over University Ave.) it's 5.8 miles to Vivian Park/South Fork, just right off the highway there. Drive South into South Fork Canyon (narrow, winding road that begins at Vivian Park) 3.25 miles (you'll drive past another nice park on the way) to where you see a brown "National Forest Access" sign -- turn (right) in here. This is a newer park -- "Big Springs" -- drive up another quarter mile and the road ends in a nice big flat parking lot. The sky is fairly dark here despite a somewhat limited horizon. If you have questions or need to contact me, my cell is 801~380~3331 /Richard Tenney
