Howard, I emailed Ed again about doing the Sat night star party and asked for
passes for the DCT and I am waiting to hear back from him. I told him I don'
need housing. I also called the phone number on the scifest.org program and I
made reservations for the NPOI on Sunday morning Sept 27th at 9 am for my wife,
son and myself. I will let you know if I hear from Ed about the DCT. Let me
know if you hear anything. Thanks, Sam

Sam. I asked him for details on a DCT tour. See below. He said that anyone
could email directly with questions or to inquire about a tour or lodging.

Hi Ed, thanks for the follow up. I have asked other in the Phoenix club to let
me know what schedule would work for them. I think Saturday night's star party
is probably what we will be able to attend.
The NPOI tours that I found on the schedule are the following Sunday the 27th.
Are there any other telescope tours on the first weekend of the festival? I
don't see any listings on the schedule for the Discovery Channel Telescope.
Thanks,
Howard Moneta

Hi Howard,
We are having a meeting later today. I hope to hear which hotel(s) are
providing lodging, and then I can forward that to the telescope hosts.
If you can send me names, email, what nights they wish to participate, whether
lodging is required, and which of the DCT/NPOI tours they want, that would be
great.
Or have them email me directly.
Thanks,
-- Ed

Howard, on Aug 1st you sent out an email about an 8-1-15 communication from a
Michael Poppre of SAC saying that Ed Anderson NAU was wanting telescopes for
the Flag Star Party and that he was offering tours of the DCT and the NPOI. I
then asked Ed in an email about the DCT and I never heard back from him. I
would like to bring my 8 inch telescope for Sat night Sept 19th, but would like
to tour the DCT with my wife and son. Could you ask Ed about the DCT tours. If
he doesn't respond, maybe you could ask Michael Poppre of SAC? Or, since you
are a member of Lowell, maybe you could ask Lowell if members of PAS could
arrange a tour of the DCT? Let me know of any progress asap. Thanks, Sam

Subject: [pasmembers] Flagstaff Festival of Science
Hi everyone. I have been contacted by Ed Anderson of NAU. He is the
coordinator for the Flagstaff Star Party. They are doing the star party on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights (Sept 17th, 18th, and 19th). He asked me
how many people we have in the club who are interested in participating in the
Star Party. There is a possibility of no cost lodging for those who
attend/bring a scope so he is looking for a head count.
We have the Black Mountain Campus event on Thursday night so I doubt we will be
sending anyone up to Flagstaff that night. Thursday night is pre-festival
anyway. That leaves Friday night and Saturday night. I'm thinking that the
Keynote Pluto talk on Friday night would be of interest to many of us so
possibly Saturday night is a good night for a Star Party. Be aware, it will be
a first quarter moon that night setting at about 10pm.
Ed asked which tours we are interested in so he may be able to help us get
reservations. The festival schedule lists the NPOI tour as being the Sunday of
the following week. I could not find anything about the Discovery Channel
Telescope. Anyone have info on touring the DCT?
The NPOI tours according to the schedule are on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, the last
day of the festival.
Interferometer Tour 9 – 10:30 a.m., Meet at Lowell Observatory on Mars Hill
10:30 – Noon, Meet at Lowell Observatory on Mars Hill
Personally I am thinking of going up there on Friday afternoon and attending
the keynote talk and then staying in Flagstaff all day on Saturday then
participating in the Saturday night star party and then return to Phoenix some
time on Sunday. The following weekend, I would possibly return to Flagstaff
for the NPOI tour.
