Set up is 1pm, however, if you don't want to arrive that early, i'd say
arrive no later than 1:45, as long as you can be totally set up by 2pm for
the first viewer to be able to look through your scope at the sun. I'm only
moving the set up time to closer to start time because i want to be sure we
don't roast out there too long. If you can set up in 15 minutes, arrive
1:45.
However, i will only hold closer to the set up location parking spot up to
1:10pm. After that, i will be doing my own set up and parking will be up to
those arriving, rather than those of us standing in parking spots closer to
the set up location, for those arriving with scopes to set up.
For those of you who haven't been there before....
If you arrive at bookmans within 10 minutes of the set up time, in this
case that would be 1pm,
and you have a scope to set up, Rodney, William, and I stand in the way of
cars getting into the parking spots closest to the scope set up location,
or even the front of the store... So, if you arrive by 1:10pm, I will have
a space held for you, if one becomes available.
If you arrive after 1:10pm, it is up to you to find your own space to park
and you might get lucky, or you might be way down the parking lot, away
from where we are setting up.
Just something to think about.
So, let me know if you want me to hold a parking spot and be sure you are
there by 1:10pm. I'm not waiting longer than that, becuase i, too, have to
get set up and sometimes it takes me 20+ minutes to set up for this event.
I have to wait on the tables to come outside, and chairs, etc.
BYO chairs. BYO tables, in case we don't get tables handed to us.
ByO drinks. And no one leaves the area and their scope unattended without
informing someone else they are taking off to get cooled off in Bookmans,
or they are headed to to the bathroom. Be sure your equipment is being
watched by someone you trust.
Sam, you can take breaks in Bookmans if needed. But be sure your stuff is
being watched while you are gone.
Everyone have a safe, fun day, today, and keep cool. Store up a bunch of
liquids in your body for Saturday. We will all need it.
I am not sure if we are doing dinner after Solar Day, together or not, but
if you want to, let me know so i can get it arranged. Where do you want to
go? Carlos O Briens?
The Philly place right there at Bookmans is very good food. Don't order
their fries. But the Philly cheese stakes are great.
Terri
PS I do need to know you are attending, so do your RSVP right now.

Mike should be attending the event this Saturday, and bringing 2
canopies for us to hide under. Yes, we do need them. Too hot not to have
them.

Terri, we need the canopy's. Is someone going to bring them so we can
use them for protection? Sam

I'm awaiting info from Katy. She doesn't have it on the site, yet.
Grrrr. That means we miss having it advertised as heavy as it could have
been.
I prefer a max of 2 hours.

Terri, it looks like 114 degrees this Saturday.
Has bookmans given you the exact hours of the solar viewing? I think
that noon to 5 pm may be too brutal on the people and the telescopes and
glass filters. Sam

Terri, I showed Frank your photos. He is very familiar with the
areas since he was in charge of the wildflower trail for 2 years. He
feels
there will be spaces for the scopes and presenters but because of the
cactus, trees and flowers each scope will have restricted views in
certain
directions. This area is usually dark so it should be OK to show the
night
sky. Also there will be large distances between scopes so the runner can
help with communications. Take care, Sam

Star Tours Team DBG Luminaria Team,
I just took a walk, this morning, in the 110+ degree heat, with
Susan, through the DBG area we are doing the Luminaria event and I have
taken 28 photos of the area which show you the set up locations, talking
about directions that can be seen the best from each location, what size
scope should go into each location, and the name of the location, so that
when we do this event for DBG, we know what we are doing, when, where.
You might want to check it out at this link:

I'm uploading photos to the PAS Photo Gallery right now, from the
"walk."
Have a super day!
Terri, Event Coordinator
