[sac-forum] Re: Last call for Last Call

Steve . . .  I won't be able to join you all at Saddle Mt. this time but I'll 
be out tomorrow with my club here and the local weather/sky conditions for 
tomorrow night look great, best we've had in weeks.  But that's good news about 
the newletter and that I may still have time to send in Taurus observations for 
the March call.

AJ . . . I will dive into Taurus with my newly recoated by Spectrum Coatings 
Max-R EAL 98% front surfaced 16" mirror and 96% EAL secondary and send along my 
observations for the newsletter on Sunday night.  Hope that is in time for the 
newsletter.  The site where we are observing tomorrow night has a really open 
look to the southeast so if the thin cresent moon in Sgr in the hour before 
morning twilight is not to much glare I may be able to pick up the last 3 
objects that I need to complete the H-400. We'll see.

  David;



  The Novice Group I am discussing is meeting on Mar. 29.  I rather doubt that 
Rik will have the newsletter before this Saturday.  So, go turn the fan up on 
that curing glue and let's see you at the Saddle Mt. get together for this 
Saturday.

  Directions to Saddle Mt. Site



  Altitude 1030 Ft.   N 33 21.147   W 112 59.756



  Drive west on I-10 to the Wintersburg Rd. Exit, this is Exit 98.  Turn left 
(south) over the freeway and you will be driving directly toward the domes of 
the Palo Verde Power Station.  Drive for 9.1 miles until you reach a "T" at 
Elliot Rd.  Turn right (west) on Elliot Rd.  



  ** For the return trip, notice that Wintersburg Road has become 383rd Ave.**



  Drive west on Elliot Rd for 5 miles until you reach mile marker zero.  
Careful as you drive along Elliot Rd. there is a severe dip and a cattle guard 
that needs to be taken at a SLOW speed.  



  The road turn sharply right, but you go straight onto a dirt road with 
telephone poles on the left side.  There are two dips to negotiate, the second 
is the most severe.  Just as you come out of the second dip there is a 45 
degree angle road to the right, take it.  This dirt road is wide and pretty 
smooth, it does NOT have the telephone poles on its left side.  After cresting 
a small hill travel a total of 0.6 miles from the turn.  There is a white rock 
marker on the left and room for lots of telescopes.

  Ahhh, I see from subsequent forum message from Steve that newletter needs to 
go before Saturday to get the word out for the Saturday night Novice Group 
meeting.  That answers the question.

    I have a little space available for the March version of the column, which 
includes observations from Charlie Whiting, Dick Harshaw, Joe Goss and Rick 
Rotramel.  As a reminder the constellation is Taurus.



    Clear skies,

    aj
