Hi Folks,
It's a scary date, but we're going to try to do it--I hope there's fewer high clouds than tonight.
Come if you care to. We'll be delighted to have as many as are available.
There's a fairly good place to set up east of the school on the track (which seems to be asphalt and is nice and level). It's about as away from the glare from the lights that are on the school itself as we can get and although it's not as far from the parking lot as would be ideal, given the phase of the moon, it should be okay. The parking lot (behind the school, just east of the building) is right on the south side of the intersection of 300 W and 900 S. There's construction on 400 W (which the school faces) so the best way to get there is via 800 S and 300 W (300 W is not a through street--it T's on 800 and 900 S).
I'll be there a bit before 8 (we can show people the moon while the sky darkens enough to see other things).
John Craig

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for the offer! I'm awaiting final confirmation on a star party at Lakeridge Junior High in Orem on Friday night. We'll see what they say.
I'm not sure what their reluctance is, but if they don't want it, I guess we won't do it....

Would anyone else be interested in trying to get something going for maybe a first-quarter weekend star party on a regular basis over the warmer months? I think if we had 3 or 4 people willing to participate, we'd have enough people to deal with the inevitable vacation absences and such. Let me know if it might be of interest and if you have suggestions for where we could do it.
Also, there's a tentative plan for a school star party at Lakeridge Junior High in Orem on the 13th. I'll let you know as plans develop (or fizzle). Lakeridge is on the SE corner of 900 S& 400 W. I haven't scouted out to figure out where the best place to be is, so if it's going to happen, I'll go check lighting and try to pick a good spot.

Thanks, Joel, Family first, for sure! The weather was good; I was worried about the cirrus clouds, but they didn't bother us significantly. We had plenty of scopes--although one guy had dragged his 12.5" Dob out of storage and it was so badly out of collimation that the stars looked like daggers--he didn't seem to be inclined to do anything about it.I didn't feel like I could really suggest adjustments to someone else's scope, of course, so he had a long line to look through it (since it was the biggest) but oh, well... Rich Tenney brought a pair of 70mm binoculars mounted on a nice parallelogram mount; a woman I hadn't met before, Lynn Cooley, brought an orange-tube C8 (haven't seen one of those in a while!); and a neighbor Dave Jenkins, brought a 60 or 70mm Carlton (?) refractor. So, with the badly collimated Dob to compare it to, my 4" achromat (with my Badder Semi-apo Filter) gave pretty darn good views--I didn't drag out my 10" RC Cass--just too much bother and speaking of collimation issues--it holds it okay, but I don't feel like I've ever gotten it quite right. Mostly we looked at the moon and Jupiter. I showed a couple of people Mizar and Alcor, but since the sky wasn't dark enough to see Alcor visually, that sort of took the shine out of that (more interesting if they can visually see both Mizar and Alcor and then see through the scope that Mizar itself is a double--I think each of its components are doubles too, but not visually splittable). Just as we were taking things down, Mars came up high enough out of the gunk you could actually see it and I had the best view of it I've ever had. The kids liked it, the teacher was delighted, and so it was definitely a success. I'll hope to see you soon (even if in the dark)! John On 5/14/2016 10:11 PM, Joel Stucki wrote:

Thanks for the kind words John. I appreciated the moon filter loaner. Your suggestions are always welcome to help adjust my scope. I've been out of practice for a long time. Although when I put my collimating eyepiece in everything seems pretty aligned, so I may need your help in fine tuning it. Regards, The Big Dob

Hi Folks,
It's a scary date, but we're going to try to do it--I hope there's fewer high clouds than tonight.
Come if you care to. We'll be delighted to have as many as are available.
There's a fairly good place to set up east of the school on the track (which seems to be asphalt and is nice and level). It's about as away from the glare from the lights that are on the school itself as we can get and although it's not as far from the parking lot as would be ideal, given the phase of the moon, it should be okay. The parking lot (behind the school, just east of the building) is right on the south side of the intersection of 300 W and 900 S. There's construction on 400 W (which the school faces) so the best way to get there is via 800 S and 300 W (300 W is not a through street--it T's on 800 and 900 S).
I'll be there a bit before 8 (we can show people the moon while the sky darkens enough to see other things).
John Craig

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for the offer! I'm awaiting final confirmation on a star party at Lakeridge Junior High in Orem on Friday night. We'll see what they say.
I'm not sure what their reluctance is, but if they don't want it, I guess we won't do it....
