The only thing missing from your website instructions is the lat/long. I was
able to get that from the file.
I found    N 34 41.975   W -111 26.814
And that matches up with the instructions, and the topo shows that as a
large meadow...
So, I think I have it.

Hi AJ (and others...)
Since you mention other astronomy clubs... (I am in EVAC),... sounds like
fun.
My wife and I will have the motor home up at Cherry Rd over the weekend, and
we could just continue up there for this.
Weather permitting....
I will watch for more posts on this.

I know it was a good idea for the annual 5MM trip to be scheduled in June,
but what about a 5MM trip just after Memorial Day?  I'm figuring on Tuesday
the 26th and Wednesday the 27th.  Moon set times are around 10:20pm Tuesday
and 11:00pm Wednesday.  So, once the moon sets we have all night long for
observing.  The summer Milky Way is up nicely around 11:00pm, hence that is
a possibility along with the spring time galaxies.
I see from an earlier e-mail posting by Steve Coe that he is interested in a
post Memorial Day trip.  Also, at the last SAC meeting, Dick Harshaw
indicated he was ready to go.

So, what about it?  Anyone else from SAC, or other astronomy clubs,
interested?
