Hey Kevin - Can I make a couple of suggestions? A more interesting target that
Vega itself, is Epsilon Lyrae, the "double-double" nearby. Also, you might be
able to find M8 in the sky glow to the south, but might want to find another
Messier for backup. Finally, NGC7000 is an extremely difficult object - I can
just see it at Antennas with the 22" and a Narrow-band filter and very low
power. If you do have an NB filter, you might try the Eastern and Western Veil
nebulae in Cygnus. NGC 6992 - 6995.
Just some ideas.

If I'm there, I'll look for these:
Vega - Double star in Lyra - 25 LY from earth - Northern sky at 7:34
M8 Lagoon nebula - In Sagittari - 5000 LY away - Western sky 8:30
NGC 7000 - Nebula in Cygnus - SW sky at 8:30

Good Morning PAS Members,
If you plan to attend the NSTS, I need your homework by tomorrow, anytime
tomorrow, but by tomorrow, Wednesday Sept 17, so i have time to assemble the
homework page and format it and send it to you in time to print it out for the
class on Saturday. Even if we don't do the class, if you do your homework, you
can send it over, and i can include it in the collection and I will send that
collection out to the class members, so they can all view these objects either
on Sept 20 at the class, or at a later time when the weather is more permitting
of a viewing session.
So, here's how it will work. Alex sent me 5 objects. Thank you so much Alex. I
only ask for 3 objects for the class, so Alex has an A+ in the class!
I will accumulate and put into one file, all the submissions of homework, and
format it nicely, and then send it back out to those who submitted their
homework, so that they can all benefit. So, everyone attending the class will
have the complete list.
If you can't print for some reason, let me know and i'll have Don print the
extra copies and bring them with him Saturday. But I need to know this by
Friday 3pm, so that Don knows how many copies he is making. NO last minute
printing. Don is a very busy dude, and needs time to do it.
So, send me your homework. It can be on list or off, just get it to me. And
let's have a great viewing party. And if the viewing is canceled, i will email
out the list, anyway.
The homework is for everyone attending, even if you are attending without a
scope, you should probably do the homework to become familiar with the sky.
Have a Fantastic Tuesday!
Terri, Event Coordinator
Below is the homework email I sent out earlier.

Happy, awesome, fantastic Monday to all the really Spacial PAS Members!!!
Let's assume for a moment that the weather at Mike's house on Saturday will be
awesome for a training session.
Homework for the class is mandatory to attend.
Homework is sent through the PASMembers List serv to be shared with everyone,
so we all have the info needed to do the class. I hope to have time to
accumulate all the homework into a file, and send it out, neatly organized, for
the printing and use at this class. You will all print your own list, from the
main list, but at least we will all have the info to share. You can reply to
this email with your homework assignment.
$2 donated per vehicle, is also requested.
Sign up for the potluck.
Are these the only awesome PAS Members attending this event? Weather permitting.
Terri Finch [Remove] [09-03-2014 03:51 PM] - Weather permitting - 1, maybe 2
scopes, and possibly pizza

And RSVP your attendance. 4 people is not a class size, although, even if no
one else attends, we will do something class related, just not with all the
usual class info shared.
William gave me an idea for next NSTS class. So, I'm ready for the next one, in
case this one falls through due to weather.
Saturday is too far out to be accurate with the weather forecasts, but we are
hopeful we will have an event.
Let's all get out there and do the homework assignment, even of you aren't
attending, doing the assignment gets you to be that much more versed in what's
available to share in September.
Have a spectacular Monday!
Terri, Event Coordinator
You may notice that you got two copies of this email. I'm testing the lists.
PASAnnounce is for announcements only and All PAS members are supposed to be on
that list to know what is happening with PAS. Events, cancelled events, etc.
PASMembers is our discussion list. We discuss weather, upcoming events, the
potlucks, and topics that were discussed or might be discussed at a future
Meeting of the Minds. You want to be on this list if you are an active member
of PAS.
If you didn't' get two copies of this email, please check to see which list you
DID get a copy from, and let me know if you need to sign up for the other list
so I can send out the sign up directions to get you where you need to be.
Complete with typos because i'm in a hurry to jump into the shower before
William gets home. I may just continue to work on stuff tonight, as well,
depends on how bad a headache I have from doing the taxes earlier today. Taxes,
looking at those small numbers on receipts and statements, is a headache to me.
Everyone have a headache free evening!!!
