Ok, I admit it, this has nothing to do with astronomy so I'm breaking a rule Gina put in place when she started this group.
I have a small UV flashlight that measures 1 3/16" diameter by 3 7/8" long that I want to put in a water tight housing. I'm thinking of a small plastic jar with a screw on lid that could have a gasket or "O" ring. Something smaller than a peanut butter jar?

Hi all, Since I announced yet another in the series of new telescope classes, I would like to ask a few of you for help. Right now, I could use 3-4 volunteers to help mentor folks with their telescopes. Things like how to set their scope up, how to align their finder, how to actually find something in the night sky, that sort of thing. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Also, one of the registrants asked about collimating an SCT. I have owned one for several years, but have always used a star for collimation. If it's cloudy, I was wondering has anyone used a laser collimator for an SCT? I've used them on Dobs, but not an SCT. If anyone has experience and can help, please let me know. Thanks. Rick Henderson
Some of you might find this interesting. It is a link to the Naval Observatory giving a PDF of 2018 astronomical events and information.

I can come out. Collimation of an SCT is very easy, I’ve not used a laser but if it’s just used as a point source it should be the same technique. I got Bob’s Knobs on mine… makes it SUPER easy. I can bring mine out. I can help with finding stuff too. Thanks Dana F.

I might be able to come out and help. However, I DO have a laser collimator specifically designed to be used on SCT's.

Hi Scott, Thanks and let me know when you know.

Many thanks to all who volunteered to help at the new telescope class next month. I now have enough volunteers so I think we’re good for next month! Rick Henderson
First of EPO: Education and Public Outreach. So, I was asked some years ago about helping and being rather new to astronomy. This was my reply: Actually, a lot. It can get busy at our tables and scopes. Having extra hands just to handle people, hand out literature, keep an eye on display items, give relief at a telescope for the astronomer to take a break or see the other activities is all very important. I think each volunteer should make the rounds to see the other group's demonstrations and maybe get a treat or idea for future use. Sometimes these things are like being on a circuit. You begin to see the same groups, companies and schools represented, but there is always something new. This might be a nature center with animals or furs, medical associations and labs or Mad Science. David Young and I get contacted through ASKC channels or directly. I also get contacted through the Solar System Ambassador (NASA/JPL) program, UMKC and Girl Scouts. These events can be very enjoyable. So, it really doesn't matter what level of astronomer you are or experience you have, you are needed and greatly appreciated! The added benefit about doing public events is honing your speaking skills. I've seen Ph.D.'s fall flat because they didn't read the audience and lose them. We are involved in the only science that the public relies heavily on non-professionals for information and sharing. Lastly and most importantly, you are giving the greatest gift that can't be banked, collected, stored or replenished.....TIME. You will also see kids excited about science and getting involved. Don McCarthy taught me a saying, "the only way to learn football is to get into the game" and we can help kids get involved and interested.

Hi, ASKC folks! Regarding the re-order of the subject shirts...I want to place the order - you ordered 16 of them. Min order quantity is 25. I think we could sell 9 more of them easily. HOWEVER. I'D FEEL BETTER if you would tell me you want one. Picture of one is on file on the Yahoo egroup. They are AWESOME. Best ever for the star party. You don't even have to have been there to get one. Here are the last names of those that have ordered them already: Bahl Brewer Burtrum Fitzgerald Henderson Herndon Iorg Manifold Valdivia Williams (Jerel) Young Let me know soon, please! I'd like to have the order placed by Friday so you can have at the January general meeting! Jackie Jackie Beucher, Vice President Astronomical Society of Kansas City 913-522-8799 (cell) M31@...
As we have published in the Cosmic Messenger twice, there will be a sale of STUFF at our January meeting.

Kathy-- Sky Safari 6 was just released and I believe it's on sale half off this month for all versions. There's really no other mobile app that compares with it on Apple or Android. Version 6 on Androidcomes out later this year. I would recommend getting at least the Plus version if you don't want to spring for the Pro.

Two good apps are Safari Pro and Stellarium. The Stellarium app is not as good as the one on my PC. Safari Pro was designed for tablets and smart phones. It costs $2.99 up to $20 for the "Pro" version. Jerel Williams jerel1948@... <mailto:jerel1948@...>
That would work better than a laser actually.....especially when dealing with a SCT.

For those of you interested in eclipses, this is an interesting document, scanned and saved as a PDF that you can download. I just did! Here is the link: www.eclipse2017.org/1878.pdf There is a good book written about this eclipse, American Eclipse, by David Baron, who was in Kansas City last year to promote his book. It is a great read! Enjoy! Jackie B. (an eclipse chaser)

I have new member events planned for Friday, 02/09 and Friday, 03/09. Both events start at 7:00. I need for each event: 2 Ruisinger 30" operators. 1 experienced member in the dome to interact with the new members. 3 experienced members in the classroom to interact both formally and informally with the new members. These new member nights at Powell are limited in attendance to 15 memberships. This generally equates to 25 members. I don't limit family members for family and senior family memberships. This number of people are accommodated easily within the confines of the classroom and dome. Please contact me directly so I do not miss any volunteers.

Previous info on Oak Park-Carpenter had it as March 1st (email from 1-5-18). I can be there either time, just need to know which one for sure, Pete
Never mind, The post about March 12 was from 2015. I think yahoo is having some issues today.
For those (like me) who are fascinated by meteorites, here's an interesting news release yesterday from Astronomy website: http://www.astronomy.com/news/2018/01/the-hypatia-stones-composition-leaves-researchers-questioning-where-and-how-it-formed ? Dave Hudgins
Tomahawk Elementary Science Night specifically requested telescopes. If it is clear, setup outside behind the gym. If it is cloudy, set up in the gym for show and tell. I will most likely take Star Lab. The school is easy to find. It is located at 78Tth and Lamar. Jerel Williams Jerel1948@... <mailto:Jerel1948@...>
The observing chair has been purchased by a club member.
We had an estimated 100-125 students. I setup Star Lab. We had about 80 students visit it. We had great Club support. Jackie Beucher setup a general Astronomy table. Pete Jafferis and Larry Herndon set up telescope displays. It was too cloudy to setup outside. I worked inside Sky Lab and Kathy coordinated the outside. Kids were energetic, but well behaved.

Those little paper packets of desiccant though, can they be recharged in a oven? And as small as they are, how much can they really absorb? And yes, for my mirror case, and eyepiece cases, I use those big aluminum perforated cases. After baking, the pellets are blue. As they absorb moisture, they gradually turn pink. I can start collecting the little packets though if you can use them. I usually just throw them away because I figured they weren't of much use. -the "original" Scott > On January 20, 2018 at 12:23 AM "David Young youngmdavid@...

Yes they can be recharged. Small ones will go inside an under water camera housing to keep it from fogging up. I'm also going to start putti g a few in with my PAT. I have a larger packet to use with the Solar Max. The little square packs will be good for both the PAST and the camera housing. On Jan 20, 2018 1:36 PM, "SCOTT KRANZ s.kranz1@...

It seems like my phone is on strike to responding to members of ASKC. I have no idea what it is up to.
Some of my meds come with those small packs. I assume you would like those as well.
The ones with electronics I save.

Now, this information is interesting! There is a video down in the article…. Jackie B. http://news.mit.edu/2018/solar-eclipse-caused-bow-waves-earths-atmosphere-0119
From Fred Espenak…. Jackie B. ... Fred Espenak posted in 2017/2024 U.S. Solar Eclipse Discussion Group . Fred Espenak January 22 at 8:11am Sorry to the general media but next week's celestial event is NOT an "blood moon". It's a total eclipse of the Moon and we've been calling them this for a couple thousand years. Near as I can tell the term "blood moon" only came into fashion in the last decade or so and is completely unnecessary. Furthermore, it obfuscates the actual physical phenomenon taking place (i.e., an eclipse) and assumes the Moon will turn "blood red". This is not always the case since the Moon can take on a range of colors and brightnesses during a total eclipse. Dull grey, dark brown, dark red, bright red, and copper orange are all possible during totality. The variability is caused by the volume of volcanic gas and ash in Earth's atmosphere that acts to filter the sunlight reaching the Moon. You can read all about it in this exclusive EclipseWise article on what the January 31st eclipse will look like.

The problem has been located and corrected. The "technical difficulties" were found to be operator error. Sorry! Please let me know if you see any problems.

I thought that some of you just might be interested in this one! Jackie From Prairie Fire: I am reaching out because I thought our Science Happy Hour tomorrow may be of interest to ASKC members. We are hosting Aamer Almujahed from Garmin. He will be speaking about space exploration: space mission design, rocket launches, satellite orbits, space navigation and human spaceflight, rocket operation, launch site selection, how spacecrafts navigate through space, and how they land when they arrive at their destination. As always, the ticket includes beer, wine, soda, and appetizers from Grimaldis pizza! If you are able to attend and would like to make any announcements about upcoming AKSC or JoCo Science Caf evets that would be great too! If you thought this was pertinent and wanted to share that would be awesome. People can purchase tickets here: https://shop.visitthemap.org/products/science-happy-hour-space-navigation-pr inciples-practice-aamer-almujahed-garmin Best wishes, Kathryn
I'm thinking going myself. After I hear him speak I'll be able to make a recommendation one way or another.

If you have an H-Alpha scope, the Sun has a beautiful prominence that reminds me of the Eiffel Tower. Looks great with my 17mm eyepiece and my Coronado Scope (400mm). Jerel Williams Jerel1948@... <mailto:Jerel1948@...>
Here is some good info and graphics, on this week’s lunar eclipse – Jackie B. http://shadowandsubstance.com/#totallunar
Times: be aware, I have seen the times vary up to 4 minutes for each event of the eclipse between most of the sites visited. Even on this morning's local news, one station was not sure of the event saying Wednesday night into Thursday morning. They are going to correct that.
This is the only TLE visible this year for us. Make sure you have a spot with a clear view all the way down to the horizon.
Good luck.

I don't know how many of you might read the XKCD comic strip, but this one hit close to my Astronomical home. https://xkcd.com/1947/ Hope you like it and yes, it's a legitimate link. I deleted the link from the Nigerian prince who wanted to send me a zillion dollars if I'd only send him my SSN and bank account info so he could regain his throne or something like that. Rick Henderson Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.

Thanks for the tip on the sun .
I was bored and looking for something to do so I got the 132 out with my Quark , after seeing your post and was rewarded some great views.
Several interesting proms , I’ll be looking on CN for pics later on.
Every Day is Friday
DanI spent about 3 hours viewing the sun and testing several cameras. I've been trying to find yesterday's image of the sun from SOHO or SDO. Using today's image and putting it into AutCad,I scaled it up to 860,000 mile across. The arc length of the prominence string is 270,000 miles long and 45,000 miles high. Wow!
Just and FYI.

I spent about 3 hours viewing the sun and testing several cameras. I've been trying to find yesterday's image of the sun from SOHO or SDO. Using today's image and putting it into AutCad,I scaled it up to 860,000 mile across. The arc length of the prominence string is 270,000 miles long and 45,000 miles high. Wow!
Just and FYI.

It sounds like it won't be as bright as Popular Mechanics reported in the link I sent. Heavens Above predicts it will be just a bit brighter than Polaris when 100% illuminated. Not anywhere near a bright irridium flare traveling across the sky, which appears to be what the media incorrectly inferred from the creators statement about flares being the inspiration.
This has been a bit controversial and the media has also been reporting astronomers "up in arms" about it. The light pollution concerns don't seem to be very strong, at least not a single sattelite like this, but it could be down the road. My initial concern was the precedent it sets and how there are no laws preventing anyone from launching this sort of thing as long as it doesn't cause any actual damage. I doubt anyone wants there to be 20 or 30 similar objects orbiting the planet in the future.
Here's a good blog opinion I came across a bit ago.

Space-Spotting: How To See Humanity Star and Other Objects in Orbit
Rocket Lab launched a shiny geodesic sphere into orbit just to give us something cool to look at. Here's how to spot it in the sky, and what else you might find.

No need to respond to this message. I was working with some of the television stations wanting to do morning spots with groups of people. The message was sent at 4:38PM on Tuesday, but took Yahoo that long to deliver.

Well that was a bust from mid-KC. From 63rd & 435, we seen the Moon enter totality and then the low thick haze washed it out completely. Next visible total lunar eclipse from here will be Sunday night, January 20, 2019. Luckily, totality starts with the Moon very high in the east at 10:41pm CST and runs till 11:43pm. -Scott

Well, I hate to shoot holes in that theory, but I tried three different avenues of internet. All yield the same thing. I also checked Yahoo egroups and for the past three days there have been multiple complaints and problems with egroups.
I trust nothing electronic!

Well, I hate to shoot holes in that theory, but I tried three different avenues of internet. All yield the same thing. I also checked Yahoo egroups and for the past three days there have been multiple complaints and problems with egroups.

This is an event for all the people of the Fort, including the children of our soldiers -- we set up like a school science night. If it is a clear day, at least one telescope with a solar filter would be great to have outside -- or more is better. Last year, we had quite a time even getting into the fort with a lengthy stint at the guard house, but this year, they want to clear us ahead of time. THAT IS GOOD NEWS. Please let me know if you are interested in helping out on this one. See below....for more information in their email. David and Marcia Young are going. I will send you even more info and a map if you want to come. Once on the fort, you will find many, many interesting historical sights to see after our event. Many of the original fort buildings still stand; there is a Frontier Museum; and.... you can see a very good remnant of the Santa Fe Trail coming up from the river. Check out this website: http://www.santafetrailresearch.com/research/fort-leavenworth-ks.html That is what you see today, sans horses and wagons. :-) Thanks! Jackie B. Jackie Beucher, Vice President Astronomical Society of Kansas City 913-522-8799 (cell) M31@... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jackie, I have already scheduled the 2018 Army Earth Day and Army Environmental Awareness Day event for Thursday, May 3, 2018, from 0900 to 1430, at the Frontier Conference Center (same place as last year) and hope you and your organization can attend again. Our official invitation is attached to this e-mail. If memory serves, your booth is located inside and you need two tables and two chairs. No electrical hook-up is needed. Is this still correct for this year? Hope you can attend this year too! Please let me know. In April I will be contacting you to get the names and social security numbers of the people who will be working your booth so I can get them cleared for entrance on to Fort Leavenworth. Hopefully, this will keep our vendor entrance problem that we had last year from occurring this year. Deborah (Debbie) A.

A note; the 30” needs replacement screws in the secondary support, one has been removed to facilitate matching it; so the collination on it will be done before mid-week Jason Sent from my mobile > On Feb 3, 2018, at 17:00, David Young youngmdavid@...

I'm part of the group that is organizing the Kansas City Science March. Unofficially it might be April 14. No, I'm not start a thread about dates. If you want to join our group please let me know. If not, that's ok. I may still be reaching out to a few of you due to your contacts (such as getting excellent speakers for the event). And please feel free to reach out to me in a private email if you know of a speaker possibly available that date or have other potential cntributions. Even if you interested want to officially join the group. For those that do want to join, only serious inquiries please. We are currently meeting weekly at 7pm on Wednesday. And we are using Facebook closed private group and the media platform Trello to communicate as a group (it has both website and app). My email is CindyLBahl@gmail.com Thanks!

Excited about the Falcon Heavy launch? Looking for another fun space-related activity? Try this: Predict the reentry of Tiangong-1. Tiangong-1 is predicted to reenter in late March 2018 2 weeks. The actual date, time, and location depends on whether mission controllers deorbit the vehicle in a targeted reentry, or whether the vehicle deorbits out of control. Why wouldnt the mission controllers deorbit under control? Thats a fair question. Well, they seem to have lost contact with the station back in 2016. The orbit has decayed since its last known commanded maneuver in December 2015. And decayed. And decayed. Unlike the SpaceX boosters, the space station could wind up about anywhere. What is known is that the vehicle will reenter Earths atmosphere between 43 North and 43 South latitudes. That band about covers a significant portion of the human population. =] Yes, including the Kansas City area, which is just inside the hazard zone at roughly 39 North. Dont panic! Experts reassure us that no one has ever died from falling space debris, and the odds of being struck are far less than the odds of winning the Powerball lottery. Of course, 2-3 inches of snow was predicted yesterday. Jus sayin. What is known: this station will make one awesome meteor if it comes down over terra firma. Lots more information at: http://www.aerospace.org/cords/reentry-predictions/tiangong-1-reentry/ Maybe we should start a pool? Proceeds go to the New Powell Fund. =] Mike
But remember, the Chinese are also the ones that destroyed one of their own satellites in orbit deliberately with what could be described as a space "weaponsb test" and then created thousands of space debris particles.
They are not showing any particular responsibility in their space efforts. We can only hope that their sense of responsibility improves as does their technical abilities.

AMATEUR ASTRONOMERS PHOTOGRAPH ROADSTER IN SPACE: "It's the craziest thing I've ever captured in my telescope," says amateur astronomer Raymond Kneip. Last night, he photographed Elon Musk's cherry red Roadster 430,000 km from Earth heading toward the orbit of Mars. NASA has just released an ephemeris (celestial coordinates) for the electric car, allowing astronomers to track and photograph the Tesla as it recedes into deep space. Pictures of the Roadster and instructions for accessing NASA's ephemeris may be found on today's edition of Spaceweather.com.

Is anyone planning on being at Powell Friday night 3/16? Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S® 6.
I don't know about Powell, but I know there are folks planning to go to the DSS Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday.

Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.

This just in from other sources. There are 2 bright supernovas visible. One is in the galaxy NGC 2525 in Puppis shinning at 13.0 mag visual (maybe bright now) & designation is 2018gv. The other is in Ursa Major in the galaxy NGC 3941 shinning at 12.8 mag visual & designated is 2018pv. I was able to see 2018gv on the evening of 1/31/18 in a 14" Celelstron using a 14mm Meade UWA eyepiece, no, the host galaxy was not visible; yes with a full moon in the sky. NGC 2525 is a lovely little barred spiral with an interesting zig-zag star pattern visible in the same low power eyepiece. _______________________________________________________________________________ Joseph S.

There might be. It's a New Moon weekend. Some people don't like to travel to the DSS so may end up at Powell. If you plan to do the marathon from there, you'll need to set up as far north and east as possible....as in the soccer field north of the observatory. Otherwise you'll miss the first 3 or 4 in the evening and the last couple in the morning. -Scott > On February 9, 2018 at 1:07 PM "Scott Meyer scott_t_meyer@...

Well darn. Maybe I'll schedule another date for multiple mirror cleanings and just do the one small one. It only takes 30 minutes or less once it's out of a scope.

I have two astronomyforum.net members coming for the Messier marathon Saturday as guests. One is from Lowell AR, so he’ll drive up Saturday afternoon. The other is coming from Oakwood Illinois.

Hi Everyone, In regards to the "March for Science KC 2018" event - Like I said before, I don't think it's officially been announced yet but it will be April 14th, Saturday, at Washington Park near Union Station. Leif and I have backed out of the group and will no longer be contacts for it. They are a very green group still working things out. We wish them all the success but are no longer involved. Well, Leif backed out after one meeting. It took me two meetings before I did. If you are interested in either helping them organize and/or help run the event...please contact the 'president' of the group. March for Science KC 2018 President is Cassie Johnson. Her email is JohnsonCa31@... She is who you need to email directly for more information if you are interested in participating in the group. For volunteering for the day of the event, like having a telescope there, contact Cassie as well. I'm sure they would appreciate your participation. And don't be surprised if they call you a 'booth'. They are using that term for everything there that isn't a speaker. If you want to speak at the event (I know they are needing speakers) or think you could help them get a speaker, contact Cassie. Thanks, Cindy Email: CindyLChesley@yahoo.com - or - CindyLBahl@... Cell: (816) 812-9908

Gil and I have been going through stuff and finding things we no longer use. As a result, we are selling some used TeleVue Panoptic eyepieces. The "new" prices below are from the Astronomics website. Asking price is what we are selling these for. That does not include any shipping - I am assuming delivery at an ASKC board meeting, General Meeting, or other local event. I will be looking for the original boxes for the 19mm and 35mm, but cannot guarantee I find them. 19mm - 1.25" (new $249) asking $140 22mm- 1.25/2" (no longer available new) asking $150 27mm - 2" (new $345) asking $175 35mm - 2" (new $389) asking $200 Original boxes for the 22mm and 27mm are included with the eyepiece. Please email me at nihcamk @ gmail.com (delete the spaces) if you are interested. -- Kathy Machin
This date is open on the calendar. I have communicated with Bill Koch and his students seem to prefer a Friday night. Duty pair is Gary Martin and Doug Spalding (a former student of Bill’s). As usual, I will handle the classroom presentation and do general wrangling. Also as usual, others are welcome. Sunset in Louisburg 7:47; ECT 8:14. Moon is near Last Quarter and does not rise until 1:53 AM. Likely DSOs are Orion Nebula, Beehive, Leo Triplet, various springtime galaxies; might get a quick look at Venus before it sets. Jupiter rises late.
Meeeee!

I'm trying to get the secondary mirror from the 16" LCT telescope separated from the metal holder. It appears to be "glued" on with silicone adhesive. I can get a 0.016" this "razor" knife blade in between the glass and the metal but I haven't had much luck slicing through it. Alcohol. mineral spirits and acetone have no effect. Any ideas" The next thing to try will be to heat the blade and try to melt my way through. The re-coater says there can be no residual adhesive on the glass so after I get it loose I'll need to scrape and sand the stuff off. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
Ok, heating the razor knife blade with a torch and making multiple passes did it in less than a half hour of cuss....er working. Now I have to get the rest of the goo off of the back of the glass. ummmm I love the smell of acetone in the evening? In addition to the mirror clips there were 6 areas that had been glued with black silicon. I cut the glass loose from the mirror cell with a razor knife and then scraped the glass to get as much of it off as I could. Think fingers on chalk board. Marcia is sanding the residual off of the edge of the 16" primary since I could still feel some friction in the area where the silicone was on the edges. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
Are all fingers still attached to their respective hands? Thanks for all your work. On Feb 21, 2018 8:30 PM, "David Young youngmdavid@...

I can still count to 10 without taking a shoe off! On another plus I was finally able to use fire again to work on telescope parts.

Hey, I think David Hudgins still cringes about you and I using a propane torch to remove the frost off my Celestron C8 corrector plate. Oh, the good ole days!
And the duo rides again on Sunday. Get the bail money ready. We have a full tank of gas, a half pack of cigarettes and we are on mission for the ASKC...and I will be wearing sunglasses.

The author above is speaking at Unity Temple on the Plaza, set up by Rainy Day Books. They have their author programs at Unity Temple on the Plaza. I suggest arriving at 6:30 for a good seat! There is a great parking garage just to the west of Unity, or to the South. If you go early, there is even a great restaurant on the bottom floor of Unity. hummmmmm, good idea, Jackie! If you go to: rainydaybooks.com, you can purchase "the book plus two tickets" for the event. Or call 913-384-3126. M. Kaku is a regular science adviser for many of the network news shows. He is a professor of physics at the City University of New York, and co-founder of string field theory. This is not his first book - others have been "Beyond Einstein", and "The Future of the Mind". I am going! I have an extra ticket if anyone needs one. Jackie Jackie Beucher, Vice President Astronomical Society of Kansas City 913-522-8799 (cell) M31@...
The 22mm and 27mm TeleVue panoptics have been sold. That leaves the 35mm and 19mm. I will bring them to the general meeting, and if not sold there, advertise in the March newsletter. 35mm - asking $200 19mm- asking $140 Thanks, Kathy -- Kathy Machin
The 35mm TeleVue Panoptic is off the market. The 19mm is bought, subject to buyer examination of the eyepiece. -- Kathy Machin
I need to trade my 24 May Duty Night for some other week. The 24May group size is only two, so it should be a nice night. Thanks, Don
This is to help with capacity planning at Powell and Warko, especially if we decide to have extra public nights due to widespread interest. Opposition: Friday 27 July Closest Approach: Tuesday 31 July, 0.385 AU, 57.6 million km Best since 2003; best until 2035! Regular Fridays at Warko: 7/20, 27; 8/3, 10 Regular Saturdays at Powell: 7/21, 28; 8/4, 11 Perseid meteor shower also peaks very near 8/11, which is at New Moon
This event has now been entered on the calendar. I will follow up with Bill about a possible backup date as well.
To add a bit to Jay Manifold's point about planning Powell activities for the Mars opposition: At opposition (when Mars will show a huge disk size of 24"), we should keep in mind that Mars will be on the eastern horizon at sunset. In fact, Mars will be well south of the ecliptic, and not rise on that night to good observing height until about 1 AM in the morning. Rather late for most general public. Mars will not rise above the trees to good observing altitude for the general public to observe the planet in the early to mid evening until the weeks after opposition. Mars will still be 20" in size and higher in the early evening sky until about Sept 5. As a result, teams over several Saturday night public programs will have good observing opportunities for Mars. Dave Hudgins
Here’s an excellent web-based calculator for angular size of the planets: https://in-the-sky.org/graphs.php?gtype=5&startday=7&startmonth=7&startyear=2018&duration=5&obj1type=0&obj1txt=Mars&obj2type=0&obj2txt=the+Sun Hope it survives Yahoo unmolested and usable. Some angular sizes per Jay’s dates: Friday July 27 – 24.3 arcsec Tuesday, July 31 – 24.3+ arcsec Unfortunately, Mars doesn’t rise in the southeast until about 9:00 PM or so during this time. The Ruisinger won’t be in a particularly good location until perhaps close to midnight. Telescopes out in the field will have better positioning.

Use the clubs mobil scopes and encourage members to bring their scopes to Powell. Telescopes will be available for the public to observe Mars. Other objects of the night sky will be observed also. My 2cents Under Spacious Skies, Randy Thompson
Push the idea that there will be many scopes available for the visitors to observe the planet and other things.

Hi everyone, I’ve received a request for a science event at Academie Lafayette at 3421 Cherry Street, KCMO. This is an elementary school science night and they have asked if we would be interested in bringing our usual stuff for their night. A description of their event is included below. They have asked for a yes or no answer this week, so I will need to respond to them one way or another by Thursday. If you are able to attend, please let me know what you would be bringing. Thanks. Rick Henderson Description of the event. STEAM night is an afternoon of explorations and interactive demonstration stations at the Cherry campus of Academie Lafayette, which will welcome all Cherry students (400+ K-3rd grade students) and their parents and siblings. The main goal of this event is to create a fun afternoon for everyone and expose students to interesting hands on science, technology, art, and mathematics related explorations. STEM night is organized by Academie Lafayette in collaboration with Rockhurst University. Rockhurst University students and faculty will present stations in mathematics, engineering, genetics, physical therapy, chemistry, and some other areas. We have also approached community partners to bring an interactive station, among them KC Zoo, Operation Wildlife, Science City, CHASE, and Nelson Atkins. STEAM Night will take place on March 28, 2018, from 5-7 pm. Students come in and work on activities/demonstrations at a variety of stations. They interact with each around 5 minutes. They receive a passport at the entrance and stamps at each event, so they have incentives to move along and visit lots of stations. Let me know if you need any more details. I’ll need to know what kind of space you’d need, etc. Thanks again! Z Dr. Zdeňka Guadarrama Associate Professor of Mathematics and Chair Department of Mathematics Rockhurst University
Rick,
Daylight Saving Time begins March 11. Therefore, by 7:00PM (program ends) it will not going to be very dark.

STEAM night is an afternoon of explorations and interactive demonstration stations at the Cherry campus of Academie Lafayette, which will welcome all Cherry students (400+ K-3rd grade students) and their parents and siblings. The main goal of this event is to create a fun afternoon for everyone and expose students to interesting hands on science, technology, art, and mathematics related explorations. STEM night is organized by Academie Lafayette in collaboration with Rockhurst University. Rockhurst University students and faculty will present stations in mathematics, engineering, genetics, physical therapy, chemistry, and some other areas. We have also approached community partners to bring an interactive station, among them KC Zoo, Operation Wildlife, Science City, CHASE, and Nelson Atkins. STEAM Night will take place on March 28, 2018, from 5-7 pm. Students come in and work on activities/demonstrations at a variety of stations. They interact with each around 5 minutes. They receive a passport at the entrance and stamps at each event, so they have incentives to move along and visit lots of stations. Let me know if you need any more details. I’ll need to know what kind of space you’d need, etc. Thanks again! Z Dr..

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone going to the DSS for the Messier Marathon would be interested in helping with the telescope class I'm hosting that Saturday the 17th. If so, shoot me an email. Thanks. Rick Henderson Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.

I was down to the DSS last evening about 6:30. There were a couple things I wanted to point out and announce to everyone....... 1) the padlock on the chain, on the front gate, does NOT need to shackled at the very top. When it is locked this way, it is nearly impossible to flip the padlock up to see the numbers. And if someone is going to cut the chain or padlock shank, it doesn't matter where on the chain it is locked. LOCK IT on the bottom link of both chains. I had to nearly lie on the ground to see the numbers last night. 2) electrical post #2 is out of commission right now and is loosely hanging on the post. Once the ground dries out a bit more, I'll coax Steve to come down with me and we can get it repaired. STEVE, your pay will be the usual, the same that we all get paid. Although I do have some connections to some hard-to-find beers that you may enjoy!!! 3) the north shower door was unlocked and swinging in the breeze. The door looked still solidly attached and undamaged. It's likely the wind shakes it enough to gradually vibrate the door latch open. IF you go into the showers or water closet, be sure the latch is fully slid over and is down. I have bought 2 locking pin latches that I will be attaching to the doors this spring that should prevent the wind from opening the doors. 4) in the building, at the NE corner is a blue Lowe's 5-gallon pail. It is placed up against the John Deere trailer and has the mop leaned up against it. LEAVE THIS ALL ALONE! I am testing out a new mouse trap, and the nice soft mop is the mice's stairway to heaven (hopefully). 5) just fyi.... the water heater will NOT be installed for the Messier Marathon. The last frost for this area is usually around mid-April. And since it tends to get colder at the DSS, I will not install it until the end of April, just to be safe. 6) and lastly,..... VENUS was bright, clear, and easy to see from the DSS at 6:45. Start watching for it as it becomes the "evening star" until about late-September. And as we were looking at Venus, to its immediate right, about a degree away, was east-to-see Mercury. Mercury is climbing higher and will be about a degree to Venus's upper right tonight (Sunday, March 4). Mercury will be at its highest point about March 16-17 (Marathon weekend!). It then starts to drop and will be gone from view about March 26. There are many amateurs who have never seen Mercury. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!!! Good observing everyone! -Scott Kranz DSS Coordinator & Observing Programs Coordinator
Just an update and a plea for help for the above mentioned subject. We now have 24 ASKC members registered for the telescope class to be held at the DSS on Saturday, March 17th. We also have a wide range of telescopes from a 70mm refractor to a 12" Dob, some manual and some GoTos. There are 6 helpers so far including myself. It would be nice to have at least 8, but all are appreciated. If you're interested in helping, please let me know. If you need more info on the class and/or the Messier Marathon, please read the articles in the March Cosmic Messenger. Thanks. Rick
Hi all, I don't own a telescope, but if I wanted to join in for some astrophotography, what day and time would be best? This would be my first time to the DSS, so would like some company.

Hello Firoz, There will be several ASKC folks at the DSS from Friday through Sunday at least. I’m not sure what you mean, though about astrophotography. You can bring whatever stuff you have whenever you’d like, that’s never a problem. The only criteria would be a clear sky. However, we will not be dealing with astrophotography in the telescope class. If you have more questions, please reply.

You know those big huge pieces of white styrofoam that comes wrapped around all kinds of electronic devices these days? Is there anything that can be done with the styrofoam? I don't think any place recycles it. And it's a lot of Styrofoam to throw away.

It may be due to my propensity for fire. I have melted the stuff with a heat gun to reduce the size and the shedding of those little electrostatically charged bits.

If it is soft and used for wrapping, it's probably polyethylene, not polystyrene (which is usually rigid). Roger Gruenke On 3/6/2018 14:29, David Young youngmdavid@...

Hello,
My name is Charla Richey I am Service Unit manager for all the Girl Scouts in the Independence/Fort Osage school districts.
On April 14th we will be doing a service unit wide camp out at Camp Timberlake in Stilwell Ks. We are interested in seeing if you do any kind of off campus constellation activities and if so if you would be available to come help the girls learn more about the constellations and what the fee might be.
Please feel free to email me back at girlscout618@gmail.com or call me at 816-560-2704.
Thank You

I didn't think that Timberlake was a Girl Scout camp anymore.

Hello Firoz,
There will be several ASKC folks at the DSS from Friday through Sunday at least.
I’m not sure what you mean, though about astrophotography. You can bring whatever stuff you have whenever you’d like, that’s never a problem. The only criteria would be a clear sky.
However, we will not be dealing with astrophotography in the telescope class.
If you have more questions, please reply.

Hi all,
I don't own a telescope, but if I wanted to join in for some astrophotography, what day and time would be best? This would be my first time to the DSS, so would like some company.
Thanks,

I was asked by the Louisburg Historical Society about what family tie Marjorie Powell Allen had with Louisburg that was partly why she donated money to build Powell Observatory. I was think it was her grandfather, but I'm not really sure. I thought he had a farm nearby. Does anyone know? Thanks. Rick Henderson Apologies in advance.

Current enrollee headcount is 27 with 14 telescopes. Current helper headcount is 6. If you're not busy drinking really silly green beer and want to help out, let me know. I have it on good authority that you can be Irish pretty much anywhere in the world and even at night. Thanks. Rick Henderson

I think the father of Mrs Powell Allen had a dairy farm North West of the Powell Observatory site now. She said her Father had a small telescope that he would take outside in the front yard. He had an interest in astronomy. He would maneuver his scope onto an object of the night sky and then share it with his family. This was how the Powell Family Foundation got interested in our project. I can’t end this without saying Charles Douglas, a member of the Astronomical Society of Kansas City worked closely with Mrs Powell Allen, President of the Powell Family Foundation, to see that the project moved forward in planned stages.

I agree! Isn’t there a pumpkin farm there now? It’s called the Powell Pumpkin Patch… If not the same farm, it is very close by.

He had an interest in astronomy. He would maneuver his scope onto an object of the night sky and then share it with his family. This was how the Powell Family Foundation got interested in our project. I can’t end this without saying Charles Douglas, a member of the Astronomical Society of Kansas City worked closely with Mrs Powell Allen, President of the Powell Family Foundation, to see that the project moved forward in planned stages.

I was in the Star Lab bubble for two hours. Inside the bubble it went very well. I showed them how to find Sirius and introduced it as the second brightest star in the sky. What is the brightest star in the sky? Every group that visited Star Lab identified the Sun as the brightest star in the sky. Thats an accomplishment compared to other schools I worked this year.

We have freshly coated mirrors. I unboxed the secondary for the 16" this morning and there is no sign of the scratches. YAY! they didn't make it through to the glass. I may take the 16" to Powell tonight for the big reveal. I need to get some silly cone to lock the primary into the cell and glue the secondary back onto it's holder.

Are we still having the new member night at Powell tonight?

Hi all,
Since I announced yet another in the series of new telescope classes, I would like to ask a few of you for help. Right now, I could use 3-4 volunteers to help mentor folks with their telescopes. Things like how to set their scope up, how to align their finder, how to actually find something in the night sky, that sort of thing. Pizza and drinks will be provided.
Also, one of the registrants asked about collimating an SCT. I have owned one for several years, but have always used a star for collimation. If it’s cloudy, I was wondering has anyone used a laser collimator for an SCT? I’ve used them on Dobs, but not an SCT. If anyone has experience and can help, please let me know.
Thanks.

Jackie Beucher Larry Herndon Jim Carothers Ron Roth Sära Keehn Jerel Williams We had three indoor telescope displays. Two were small enough to focus on a Nebula located in the Gym. One was “shock and awe large” for display and discussion. We had a display table set up that also served as sign up for Star Lab. I’m not sure how things went outside. I was in the Star Lab bubble for two hours. Inside the bubble it went very well. I showed them how to find Sirius and introduced it as the second brightest star in the sky. What is the brightest star in the sky? Every group that visited Star Lab identified the Sun as the brightest star in the sky. That’s an accomplishment compared to other schools I worked this year. I estimate 75-80 attended Star Lab. Outside “the bubble” Jackie may have a better estimate for total students attending our ASKC demonstrations. Not all students attend Star Lab.

Coming soon to Earth. :-) Re-entry of the defunct Chinese space station predicted sometime between March 24th and April 19th. Actual date and time, and predicted location, won't be known until a few hours beforehand. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/last-chance-to-see-tiangong-1-space -station-before-re-entry Good visible passes for the KC area over the next five evenings. http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=37820 [this link may not work for others.if not, go to Heavens Above and enter your data] Mike
Nice view right now. Mercury is easy naked eye, a thumbs distance above and slightly north of Venus. Alan Lehman
So the Humanity Star satellite is starting to make a few passes over the KC area. Last night it was supposed to have gone nearly overhead with a magnitude of 4.5. I hunted with binos and naked eye and never seen it pass. So much for it being visible to anyone who just walks outside and looks up. There are quite a few more passes coming, with the last visible one from the KC area being on the 25th. The brightest estimate for it is 4.1. I'm going to keep trying to spot it. I'd like to see it at least once. -Scott

Also, one of the registrants asked about collimating an SCT. I have owned one for several years, but have always used a star for collimation. If it’s cloudy, I was wondering has anyone used a laser collimator for an SCT? I’ve used them on Dobs, but not an SCT. If anyone has experience and can help, please let me know. Thanks.

Well, that makes me feel better – that YOU couldn’t find it. We were down at Powell with new members, and I knew it was going over, but we got all involved and forgot. We did get to see one nice iridium flare, though. So, we didn’t miss a thing. Jackie B.

I think the most difficult part as to why it hadn't been catalogued is that it is a poorly concentrated cluster. It's a whole 10.6' ESE of Sirius and the brightest stars are magnitude 12.7. If the transparency and seeing is good enough, and by moving Sirius off the FOV, I'm definitely going to try to observe it. -Scott > On March 10, 2018 at 1:48 PM "Brad Weaver weaver.brad@...

Guide shows the "V" shape of the brighter stars in the cluster quite well - that will help in field recognition. It looks to be possible visually with Sirius out of the field and a big scope!

Unlike most objects it will be easy to get in the field😏

I see that now. When I looked earlier these old eyes thought it said stern night instead of stem night and it didn't register.

Vacations and other events are conflicting with some of the usual suspects so ASKC could use a few volunteers the help out.
We particularly need someone to operate the StarLab April 12. Jerel and I will both be out of town.

Hey all! I believe that I saw the “Humanity Star” passing overhead tonight from North KC. I tracked it from Heaven’s Above (the tracking page on the Humanity Star website isn’t great). I say that I believe that I saw it passing overhead because it wasn’t what a regular satellite looks like as it passes. What I observed were very very brief and irregular flashes following it’s predicted path across the sky. The flashes were a fraction of a second each, and they were irregularly spaced along it’s orbit path. It makes sense when I think about the design of the “Humanity Star” and how it is likely tumbling. Kind of like a disco ball from really far away - Any individual mirror will only hit my exact location occasionally. I thought it was an airplane at first, but it was moving way too fast to be an airplane and it was right along the path that it was predicted to be. It was a magnitude 4.3 tonight, not super easy to spot unless you were looking in the right direction at the right time. > On Mar 10, 2018, at 1:42 PM, 'Jackie Beucher' m31@everestkc.net [ASKC] <ASKC@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > Well, that makes me feel better – that YOU couldn’t find it.

Congrats! That sounds about right for what they said the satellite would look like. Although, I think they were hoping for a much brighter flashing. Magnitude 4.3 is going to be one of the brighter passes. I seen that Heavens-Above has many of the passes estimated at 7th and 8th magnitudes. -Scott > On March 12, 2018 at 9:17 PM "Mitchell Cloud mitchellcloud@gmail.com [ASKC]" <ASKC@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > Hey all!

Anyone free during the next week to assist in replacing the motor for the atic fan at Powell? I hesitate to be on the ladder by myself.
David, John and I can help any night next week (other than Friday) after work. We get off around 5:30 and could be out there 6ish or so. Thanks Dana F.

Thanks for the reply. I'll take you up on it next week if I don't get it done before that. I also need to get the 16 back into the classroom so I can mount the optics and collimate where it's warm. The 16" mirror needs to be mounted and the secondary needs to be first glued back onto the holder and them installed in the tube. I'll post a note if I get it done before next week.

Well rat feces! The new motor is not like what all illustrations show. It is significantly longer than the old motor so the bolt holes won't line up. I'll need to remove the mounting frame from the fan assembly and drill new mounting holes. Wheeee. Sounds like fun doesn't it? I think it can be done at the observatory with a hand drill held drill. I'll try not to drill a hole in the picnic table. This will add an hour to the job but a couple of people should be able to do the entire project in 2 hours on site.

Feel free to come to Powell about 2:00 Wednesday March 14 for another thrilling episode of "Old Guys On Ladders". Cameras optional. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
Ron Roth, Jim Carothers and I were at the STEM in the GYM in Raytown from 6:00 till 8:00 tonight. There was nothing to see outside so we went into the gym. Ron had his spotting scope for the kids to look through and we set up Jim's 10" Dob for them to look at. I handed out ASKC flyers and promoted the observatories at Powell and Warko. I estimate we had about eighty visitors to our display.

Yup. Not sure if we'll be doing any observing. But there will be someone down there. We might get a few hours in on Saturday night. Never can tell. The forecast changes every 15 minutes. -Scott > On March 13, 2018 at 10:06 PM "kennedy.charles.e@... [ASKC]" <ASKC@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > > Is the messier marathon still on for this weekend?

And at least the afternoon session of the telescope class is on regardless of the weather, although it wouldn't surprise me if we have a lower turnout.

Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.

Would i be able to get a travel trailer in friday and out sunday day? Or is it likely that a trailer will be stuck?
Field is fine. NO problems. There are five of us here right now with trailers and a motor home. Jim On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 5:05 PM, kennedy.charles.e@...

That was my thought. It looked like only ten or twelve tightly packed in an S shape with only half being 12-13 magnitude. I'm still moving up the stack of messages so I would like to hear about any attempts to observe.
Lario Yarino suggested a possible crude method to try would be to take a small piece of glass like a microscope slide, paint a black dot on it, and place in front of the eyepiece to obscure Sirius. We were out last night and had average seeing an hour N/NE of KC but forgot to look for it. FYI for any beginners like myself that may give it a shot. Any other clever methods to obscure a star like that or even a smaller one (like Merope to observe/image it's nebula)?

I think the most difficult part as to why it hadn't been catalogued is that it is a poorly concentrated cluster. It's a whole 10.6' ESE of Sirius and the brightest stars are magnitude 12.7. If the transparency and seeing is good enough, and by moving Sirius off the FOV, I'm definitely going to try to observe it.

Messier Leif and I hope to be down to the DSS tomorrow afternoon! We are hoping to nav an outlet for our his telescope and our equipment if possible for our observing site. (Crossing fingers) Stay thru to Sunday morning! We will set up a spot in the corner of the inside of REB for sleeping in our observing chairs. We will set the chairs and our sleeping bags before nightfall. Hoping to be towards the north west end of inside of the building, where we had slept in the past (away from people and with earplugs). Voyager... Friend just sent me this link. Anyone seen this yet? Or have it? If you have it, do you like it? My birthday is only just a few months away... Lol joking. It looks really cool. Seems it started out as a Kickstarter project, I think? http://www.ozmarecords.com/product/voyager-golden-record-3xlp-box-set See you guys tomorrow! Can't wait! It's been months since I pulled out my telescope! Thanks, Cindy Bahl cindylbahl@...

Not sure how long it will hold, but it's clear right now. Some haze, but no clouds. Three of us down here now.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
I hit the eastern horizon at 10:08pm with 65 objects.
Since then have observed two comets, and the "Lynx Quasar" at 12.5 billion light years. Ya...... that's billion with a "b".
Earlier in the evening i observed the recently discovered open cluster near Sirius.
Been a good night so far, but clouds are starting to move in and need to try for a couple more Messiers.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."Leif, I received the Voyager record set as a gift last XMas. Pretty cool. Charles
Charles and all, It rained a little bit last night but the ground soaked everything up and it is not muddy at all. Right now it is partly sunny and the
observing field is in good shape.

I was part of the kickstarter from 2016 and got the set around August last year-- it's very cool!! Chris
Less than 0.25 inch. And the ground is so dry that any rain has already soaked away.

Less than a 0.25 inch. Field is dry.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."Cindy, I just read the post again, from an actual PC, and see the you posted. I replied back to Leif. Sorry about that. Charles
All, I hope it clears for everyone. It doesn't look like I'll make it. Seems the roof has sprung a leak. I have a roofer coming our Saturday. Later, Charles
Skies are mostly clear. Light breeze that is supposed to die down. 13 people on the field as of 7:25.

These weather reports are far better than my Salt Lake City club. They canceled the marathon due to the amount of snow fall.

Here's a video from today of the group at the DSS for the Messier Marathon and the New Telescope class conducted by Rick Henderson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtvpB-o5wkM&feature=youtu.be Nice to see a good number out for both events. Enjoy, Jim Ketchum
Very nice, Jim. Thanks for sharing. Pete

If you say under 70 much longer you will be leaving most of the club out.

No offense taken, David. I would have offered, but by the time I saw this, you had a few volunteers already! Let me know if there is something I can do.

Acadamie Lafeyette on Cherry Street has a stem night coming up on March 28. This will start at 5:00 and end at 7:00 and sunset is around 7:30 so no night time viewing. There will be a bright moon in the east so that is a possible target if its clear. If you feel really adventurous and have a sharp eye you should be able to find Venus even with the sun in the sky. If you are interested in joining Ron Roth and John Fitzgerald, drop me a line. I have a box of stuff from NASA that can go to the school event but I will likely not be going. March 28 is a red head's birthday. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
HI, David. I volunteered for this when it first sent it out – I think Rick sent out that email. Perhaps I responded to him alone. Not sure! I know we were both glad to see two more volunteer. I could use some more hand-outs, too. I did pick up some ASKC brochures last week, though! It looks like they are wanting some sort of demonstration, from what they sent us. We can do what we can with telescopes, and hidden pictures in the room somewhere! Thanks, Jackie B.

It won't exactly be a party but all are invited to Powell at 2:00 PM to assist in cleaning the secondary mirror, in installing it, collimating the mirrors and reinstalling the telescope in the LCT building. I can do everything but the carry it outside part but I can certainly use some help getting it back into the LCT without a hand truck.

It won't exactly be a party but all are invited to Powell at 2:00 PM to assist in cleaning the secondary mirror, in installing it, collimating the mirrors and reinstalling the telescope in the LCT building.
I can do everything but the carry it outside part but I can certainly use some help getting it back into the LCT without a hand truck.

Some of you may want to tune into the subject new show, which starts tonight. Will Smith is the narrator, and it is all about our favorite planet - Earth. The story is told through the eyes of astronauts. I hope the email I got comes through to you - just below here... If not, go to nationalgeographic.com, to read about it. Jackie B. Over the years, and particularly since joining the board of the Sierra Club Foundation, I've been fortunate to explore our beautiful planet and get to know the heroes who work tirelessly to protect it. From Africa to the Arctic and beyond, Earth and its people never cease to amaze. That's why I'm excited to show you my new series <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=84cb359f8f93c4ffb01be9076d890d519981 4ced41aff2410329b9bd6fc0181512a4a50321c1fd082a7ec1c65492b5f09e001bc1aed1daf9 > One Strange Rock-premiering on the National Geographic Channel on March 26 at 10:00 PST / 10:00 EST / 9:00 CST. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=84cb359f8f93c4ffb01be9076d890d519981 4ced41aff2410329b9bd6fc0181512a4a50321c1fd082a7ec1c65492b5f09e001bc1aed1daf9 > http://image.emails.sierraclub.org/lib/fe8f1372746d007871/m/9/email-one-stra nge-rock-v2.jpg One Strange Rock is a mind-bending, full-sensory journey that explores the fragility and wonder of our planet. It's the extraordinary story of why life as we know it exists on Earth, brought into perspective by the only people to have left it behind: astronauts. Narrated by Will Smith, this 10-part series, which was filmed across 45 countries, on six continents, and from outer space, reveals the twists of fate that have allowed life to emerge, survive, and thrive on Earth. I invite you to discover our planet like never before and share the experience with those closest to you. Explore the fragility and wonder of our planet by hosting a viewing party with your friends and family when the series premieres on March 26 at 10:00 PST / 10:00 EST / 9:00 CST.

Naturally, it is predicted to be cloudy in Kansas, including a chance of snow. =] Space Weather News for March 26, 2018 <https://Spaceweather.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c5fce34d5ca05f64a1 3d085d&id=fb4fcb362e&e=29ddc0f388> http://spaceweather.com CHINESE SPACE STATION TO DISINTEGRATE: China's Tiangong-1 space station is about to return to Earth--as a massive fireball. Low solar activity kept Tiangong-1 in orbit longer than officials predicted, but it's finally coming down. The European Space Agency says the 8-ton craft should re-enter sometime between March 30th and April 2nd, a window of uncertainty which will narrow in the days ahead.

Thanks! Perfect timing that I checked my group emails at 20:55. I remember Will Smith announced he would be hosting the series late last year but didn't realize it was here already. I love documentaries like this with high production value and unique presentation. Same goes for all of the "Wild <location>" shows and just about anything the BBC does, especially with David Attenborough and Brian Cox.

Over the years, and particularly since joining the board of the Sierra Club
Foundation, I've been fortunate to explore our beautiful planet and get to
know the heroes who work tirelessly to protect it. From Africa to the Arctic
and beyond, Earth and its people never cease to amaze.
That's why I'm excited to show you my new series

One Strange Rock is a mind-bending, full-sensory journey that explores the
fragility and wonder of our planet. It's the extraordinary story of why life
as we know it exists on Earth, brought into perspective by the only people
to have left it behind: astronauts. Narrated by Will Smith, this 10-part
series, which was filmed across 45 countries, on six continents, and from
outer space, reveals the twists of fate that have allowed life to emerge,
survive, and thrive on Earth.
I invite you to discover our planet like never before and share the
experience with those closest to you. Explore the fragility and wonder of
our planet by hosting a viewing party with your friends and family when the
series premieres on March 26 at 10:00 PST / 10:00 EST / 9:00 CST. Check out
our page with information on how to watch, helpful tips on organizing your
party, articles to learn more, an online action you and your friends can

We have a request as described here: _______________________________________________________ Dear Jackie, The KS wing of civil air patrol is having a wing conference in may (memorial day weekend). I am looking for an astronomer to do either day (solar) or night sky tour as an Aerospace education event either Friday or Saturday (May 25th or 26th). Would you please help me find someone, or would you be interested in coming to our conference and providing the tour. We can provide powerpoint and room as plan b for inclement weather. Plan a would be have one or two 10” sct with autofinders set up and providing a 10’ brief followed by solar or night sky tour lasting 1-2 hr. Sun or moon and planets might be best since we are inside city lights next to the Discovery center in downtown Manhattan. I can provide resources if you name what you need. I’m happy to buy dinner and provide access to cap meetings if you wish. We will have sessions training drone pilots and things of more general aerospace interest. _______________________________ I can’t do this on Saturday, due to our General Meeting that night. I could go on Friday, but honestly…..I’d like some help with the telescope part. Are there any volunteers out there that might be interested? I drove to Manhattan last year, and it only took about 1.5 hours one way, fyi. Can you let me know? Email is probably best: M31@...

This is Denise. Count me in. Besides the astronomy outreach thing, I have another interest.

Would you please help me find someone, or would you be interested in coming to our conference and providing the tour. We can provide powerpoint and room as plan b for inclement weather. Plan a would be have one or two 10” sct with autofinders set up and providing a 10’ brief followed by solar or night sky tour lasting 1-2 hr. Sun or moon and planets might be best since we are inside city lights next to the Discovery center in downtown Manhattan. I can provide resources if you name what you need. I’m happy to buy dinner and provide access to cap meetings if you wish. We will have sessions training drone pilots and things of more general aerospace interest. _______________________________ I can’t do this on Saturday, due to our General Meeting that night. I could go on Friday, but honestly…..I’d like some help with the telescope part. Are there any volunteers out there that might be interested? I drove to Manhattan last year, and it only took about 1.5 hours one way, fyi. Can you let me know? Email is probably best: M31@...

With each scout bringing at least one parent, the boys should be well behaved! My scouts are pretty good and will be respectful of the property and equipment. “I am a former member of the Astronomy Society at KU and helped host many events like this.

If anyone has a suspect rock they would like to have tested, I have a new test kit to check for nickle. ALL meteorites that are attracted to a magnet have nickle in them. Of course irons are attracted to a magnet but most stone meteorites are attracted to a strong magnet due to small amounts of iron.

Was one of your friends the one that got stopped for going 160MPH. (You read that correctly!)

_______________________________________________________
Dear Jackie,
The KS wing of civil air patrol is having a wing conference in may (memorial day weekend). I am looking for an astronomer to do either day (solar) or night sky tour as an Aerospace education event either Friday or Saturday (May 25th or 26th). Would you please help me find someone, or would you be interested in coming to our conference and providing the tour. We can provide powerpoint and room as plan b for inclement weather. Plan a would be have one or two 10” sct with autofinders set up and providing a 10’ brief followed by solar or night sky tour lasting 1-2 hr. Sun or moon and planets might be best since we are inside city lights next to the Discovery center in downtown Manhattan. I can provide resources if you name what you need.
I’m happy to buy dinner and provide access to cap meetings if you wish. We will have sessions training drone pilots and things of more general aerospace interest.
_______________________________
I can’t do this on Saturday, due to our General Meeting that night. I could go on Friday, but honestly…..I’d like some help with the telescope part. Are there any volunteers out there that might be interested? I drove to Manhattan last year, and it only took about 1.5 hours one way, fyi.
Can you let me know? Email is probably best: M31@...

Um, 10th? Requested backup date was 19th. I will reach out to Bill on canceling the 6th. We'll probably wait another couple of days.

I have scheduled April 28 for a final cleanup but there are many small projects that could be completed before that. Call me or email me if you can help get some of these out of the way. We are having an Astronomy Day event at Powell on April 21 and it would be nice to get some of these projects done before that event.
Please contact me so we can make some coordinated plans.

We really need to do a clean up and have a work party at Powell before the public season.
I have scheduled April 28 for a final cleanup but there are many small projects that could be completed before that. Call me or email me if you can help get some of these out of the way.

Hi all, If you've read your April Cosmic Messenger, then you already know that we're doing Astronomy Day this year at Powell. Weather permitting being the key operative here. If you haven't read your April Cosmic Messenger, then please check it out as I'm asking for volunteers to help out on the day.

So, check it out and if you're able to help, please let me know by either replying back to this email or emailing me directly at rhenderson1@... <mailto:rhenderson1@...> . Thanks! Rick Henderson

per SpaceWeather.com: China's Tiangong-1 space station re-entered Earth's atmosphere on April 2nd at 00:16 UTC. The spacecraft disintegrated over an uninhabited stretch of the central Pacific Ocean near 13.6 S, 164.3 W, some 4000 km south of Hawaii. So far no sightings or pictures of the fireball are available. -Scott > On April 1, 2018 at 9:52 PM "dtrent dtrent@att.net [ASKC]" <ASKC@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > > > > Any update on the china space station? > > > > Sent from my Sprint Phone. > -------- Original message -------- > From: "'Rick Henderson' rhenderson1@...

The geriatric squad has moved about half of the gravel. Rabi came down and the gravel is moving significantly faster.

April 10 Free screening https://events.kcpt.org/event/bill-nye-science-guy-film-screening/?instance_id=2322
OK, officially canceling for this Friday night and planning on Thursday the 19th instead. Duty pair is myself and Dennis Budd. Others welcome.
We have a school science night coming up on April 12. I think so far we only have two people going. We have done this night for years but a perfect storm is going to limit our participation this year. We won't be providing the StarLab since of the three people who know how to set it up one has a bum knee, one is out town and one is out of the country. If you can join Ron and John let me know before Friday morning. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
The ASKC reservation and information line has been forwarded to Joe Wright. He will handle reservations while I'm out of the country. For observatory specific questions you may email Jason Forst ..... jason@... Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

setting sun and clouds moving in. Ron manned the table with the with the ASKC hand outs and also supervised the meteorites on loan from David Young. In
addition he had his spotting scope set up for the children to look through. I had a small scope set up and aimed at picture of a galaxy. While I didn't keep an

MIGHT need some help if clear ----- The above off-site event is “on”. I will talk to them about constellations, orbits and such. If it is CLEAR, Ron Roth is coming with his spotting scope. There are 65 girl scouts there, so if any of you want to come out with a telescope, it would be appreciated. As of right now, WeatherBug is showing cloudy for tomorrow evening. From Hiway 69 and 179th St., go west. At the first gravel drive on the south side of the road, turn in (south). At the Y, stay right, and you will get to a parking area. We should be nearby. It would be good to call me first…. 913-522-8799. I appreciate it! Jackie B.
They were to have been at Powell tomorrow night (Sat 14 Apr). Rescheduling due to near-certain cloud cover. Backup date is Friday 11 May. Thanks to Joe for quickly getting it on the calendar. I will continue to assist this group and expect to give the classroom presentation. Regular duty pair for new date is Mike Stewart and John Fitzgerald. Other volunteers welcome. Anticipated group size is 11 scouts + 14 parents + 5 siblings = 30.

Thanks! As of now I think we’re going to have at least 4 volunteers (me, Dennis, yourself, Jerel), and the weather forecast still looks great.
There's five of us at the DSS currently to take advantage of a beautiful night' observing. Low wind, clear skies with a little smoke in the air. Fields in good shape, but the moles are taking over. Outside of that, come on down and enjoy the party. Jims
Hi everyone, I'm looking at purchasing some new eyepieces. I'm looking for a 15mm, 12.5mm and 7.5mm, all well within my max magnification. I'm looking on Orion at different sets of eyepieces. Does anyone have suggestions on brands that may be better than others? There are many types and prices. Should I pay attention to certain factors, such as deg of field of view, vs others? Any recommendations is helpful. I'm still new to using my telescope. Viewed Jupiter last night and was able to see the colors and cloud bands. Looking forward to seeing more soon. Cheers, Tayler Sandberg st.sandberg@gmail.com
Check Explore Scientific. They give lifetime warranty on their eyepieces and their quality is tops. Comparable to Televue at a substantial lower price point.

Depends on your price range, too.
Explore Scientific has excellent eyepieces, but if they're out of your budget range I would suggest looking at Orion Stratus eyepieces.
We have several of those that we use with the 16" Dob at Powell.
I have three of the Stratus and two Explore Scientific and like them all, but there is a significant price difference.
I would recommend buying one of either brand and see what you think before buying any more. If you're at Powell, we have both and ask to compare then.

Taylor, I suggest that you see the Orion website and find their information on selecting eyepieces. Generally they give very good advice. A lot depends on if you are looking for good 1-1/4" EP or the larger 2". And what kind nof scope you have, and your budget. In general there are very good buys these days. Many decent and reasonably priced Plossels. I find that 3 good eyepieces are what's needed. Depending on your scope, usually a 25mm, a 12-14mm, and 9mm set work great for many scopes. Go to the Orion website for advice. Also, you can often get much better used EP for the same $. Dave Hudgins

Tayler, I think you have some excellent advice from some of the senior observers in the club on Orion’s lineup and comparative Explore Scientific’s product line. I have used both the Stratus from Orion and the more pricey NO2 filled ES optics. So my experiences are more personal likes than an treatise of optical comparisons between the Orion and Explore Scientific. The ES eyepieces are heavy and very well made, but cost a lot more than the Lanthanum based eyepieces. The Stratus eyepieces seemed to me as having a very slight tan color from the Lanthanum elements. You may not notice it or it may be to your liking. No, I do not have those eyepieces any longer. My eyes are not as good as they once were and so I am happy to just read the viewing reports. I do have Celestron X-Cel eyepieces in the 12mm, 18mm, and 25mm in the 1.25-inch barrel size. You can try them out if you’d like. These are better than the Meade 5000 Series Plossl eyepieces but not nearly the cost of the above eyepieces mentioned. If you would want to try them out, I will be at Astronomy day at Powell this Saturday, April 21st. Please let me know. Some short history for me and Explore Scientific: When we (Susan and I) lived Rogers, Arkansas, our house was about 12 miles from the offices of Explore Scientific in Springdale, AR. I’ve met Scott Roberts and most of the people at their warehouse and showroom. I also met them for sidewalk outreach events at Univ. of Ark. Fayetteville, when I was a part of the Sugar Creek Astronomy Club under Jack McDonald.

Tayler,
Take your time with your purchase as there are many items to consider. You will need to consider everything you mention and more. The first thing is what are the characteristics of scope such as : size, quality, does it have tracking, what types of objects you may look at the most (i.e., planets, galaxies, star clusters, etc), do you think you may get a better scope in the near future, and how much you should spend so the quality of the eyepieces is similar to the quality of the scope being used.
You may want to change the three eyepieces you mention to two: (1) 12-14MM (2) 6-8MM
Many planetary observers will not use the older Tele Vue eyepieces as they have a bit of a tan color to them.
One eyepiece you may wish to consider is Pentax 7MM XL. This is an older but still high quality eyepiece with 65 degree field of view. The XW line is the newer line thus more expensive. These lines are loved by planetary observers. (NOTE: in both these lines DO NOT consider the 14MM and the 20MM as they tend to have a significant of distortion. (A new 7MM XW will cost about $350 which is likely more than you wish to spend.
A good Plossl would likely be a good choice. As there are so many different Plossls today take your time to carefully check these out.
Be careful, as you can easily spend more in the value of you time than the cost of the eyepieces.
Good Luck.

Subject: [ASKC] Telescope Eyepieces
Hi everyone,
I'm looking at purchasing some new eyepieces. I'm looking for a 15mm, 12.5mm and 7.5mm, all well within my max magnification.
I'm looking on Orion at different sets of eyepieces. Does anyone have suggestions on brands that may be better than others? There are many types and prices. Should I pay attention to certain factors, such as deg of field of view, vs others?
Any recommendations is helpful. I'm still new to using my telescope. Viewed Jupiter last night and was able to see the colors and cloud bands. Looking forward to seeing more soon.
Cheers,

Also, Tim Kristl will be talking about eyepieces at this month's Astro 101 program, which starts at 6pm Elizabeth Brown
The usual suspects will gather at Powell tomorrow to plant some bushes. I'll have a power auger to speed things up. We intend to start at 11:00. Join us if you feel like helping.
5 new bushes were planted this afternoon. Rabbie Najjar joined the old guys (Ron, Jerel, Jim, Lario and me). We put the bleachers back on the gravel and tied the new trees of to them to keep them upright until the roots take hold. The planting instructions call for heavy watering each day for 5 days. If anyone wants to do that one day let me know, otherwise I'll drive down every day and take care of it. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

Explore Scientific provides very good eyepieces and an unlimited lifetime warranty. They are significantly cheaper than a Televue but there is a noticeable in image quality. Most people couldn't tell the difference in the view but they will sure tell the difference in the cost. Powell has both and you can make your own comparison. Eyepieces are not supposed to be removed from the observatory except in special circumstances. Just ask Jason Forst, Rick Henderson or David Young and they will make them available for you to compare. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

How often do the new bushes need to be watered?
I will be at Powell Saturday regardless of the weather so if they need watering again and if it's not raining/snowing/freezing rain/sleeting or whatever, I could do it then.

Attendance was ~27. Volunteers were Budd, Buecher, Manifold, Roth, and Williams. Objects observed included the Moon, Venus, the Winter Hexagon, Castor A/B, M42—Orion Nebula, M35—open cluster in Gemini, M3—globular cluster in Canes Venatici, M53—globular cluster in Coma Berenices, and possibly others. I will get the payment to Alan at the April GM.
This has now been confirmed for Friday 11 May. ---In ASKC@yahoogroups.com, <jay_manifold@...> wrote : They were to have been at Powell tomorrow night (Sat 14 Apr). Rescheduling due to near-certain cloud cover. Backup date is Friday 11 May. Thanks to Joe for quickly getting it on the calendar. I will continue to assist this group and expect to give the classroom presentation. Regular duty pair for new date is Mike Stewart and John Fitzgerald. Other volunteers welcome. Anticipated group size is 11 scouts + 14 parents + 5 siblings = 30.

Hi all, Due to the lousy weather forecast, it has been decided to cancel the Astronomy Day activities scheduled today for Powell Observatory. We'll try again another time. Rick Henderson
I just saw a note from Jason indicating he will be there at 11:00.
The printed schedules are here.
Jim Carothers will meet me at Powell tomorrow to unload the new door for the Dome. We will be there at about 10:30. If you care to join us we will likely find something else to do. Let me know if you plan to join us. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

I just cancelled due to rain in the forecast. I don't want to haul it in the rain. I should have checked before I made silly plans. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

Looks like rain for tomorrow so I'm going to tarp the door up in my driveway and take it down some other time. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

I have two tickets for the May 1 program at the Kauffman Theatre by Terry Virts' of his photos and videos taken from the ISS that I will not be able to use. Parking pass as well. If interested, let me know at dbrackey at att dot net. Asking $25, can bring tickets to the Saturday meeting. Dave Brackey
This came in from my Tucson club. Thought I would pass it along.Joe If anyone is interested in giving this one a go, the Blazar noted above is in outburst and should be visible in an 8 or 10 inch scope. Here is a link to Wikipedia info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3C_371. You can use Wikisky Map to find the Blazar's location and make a detailed finder map. The Blazar is a short distance E of the elliptical galaxy NGC 6503._______________________________________________________________________________ Joseph S.

Joe Wright, Jim Carothers an I will be at Powell tomorrow (Friday) at 11:00 to install a new south door. Feel free to join us
So far 4 people have indicated they will be at Powell for Saturday's last ditch effort to get the place in shape for the public season that starts next week. If you intend to be there please let me know so we can prioritize projects with the available resourses.

Hi everyone! This might be the first public night swap of the upcoming public season! Alex and I will not be able to make the May 26 public night and are hoping to find somebody to swap with us. We are free any weekend except for general meeting weekends, May 12th, and May 19th. If you're also looking to trade or would be willing to swap please let us know! Thanks! Casey Carlile
Hi, Everyone.
A few updates have been made to the raffle information on the library page of our website. I have a couple more pictures of the raffle items. Tomorrow I will be adding more raffle prizes, and hopefully more pictures.
Some of you may wonder why the things donated by astrophotographer David Lane have not included pictures and/or more description, especially since they are very popular and aesthetic. It is only because I do not yet have them in my possession. David has recently returned from an astrophotography trip to Utah, and it's been a busy week for me as well (event prep!). As soon as I am able to put pictures on there, I will do it. I know everyone wants to see them, and I'm sorry I couldn't get them on there already.
I have also added some more titles to the book sale. I am still receiving book donations, and I am eager to accept them.
Saturday at 5:30 p.m. is coming up fast. The weather is supposed to be very sunny and mild that day, and the evening is supposed to be as nice. I hope all of you can attend the event, and also stay to enjoy all that General Meeting night has to offer.
I am including below the email blast sent Tuesday to all the membership. If you didn't get it, you may want to update your email information with Membership Secretary Jerel Williams...but check your junk folder first. Sometimes good stuff ends up there, too.
Since I'm pasting this, the links may not be clickable. If not, you should be able to copy and paste them instead. If you are unable to attend the event but would like to participate, please read below about arrangements I can make for that situation. I am happy to oblige.
Here is that email blast about the book sale and raffle:

Sorry about the double email. I had sent it hours before, but it hadn't posted. So I sent another. I thought it wasn't going to post, either... Then... there they both were. Strange. Lol.
I think this is the better one since I revised a little.

Hi, Everyone.
I said "at least 3," but there are 5!!
The raffle list on the library area of our webpage now has pictures of all the David Lane astrophotography prints.
I have 2 identical panorama prints taken at Yellowstone on photo paper, so there will be 2 winners drawn from the same raffle box. Then there are 2 smaller metal prints taken out in the American West. One has Devil's Tower in the background, and the other has a cool rock formation in the foreground that I cannot identify. I think it is well-known, though. The last is a metal print taken at Yellowstone with one of the colorful pools in the foreground. So there are a total of 5 items with 4 separate raffle boxes. Please take a look and see what you think.
Another addition to the raffle list is a 4-person family membership to The Museum at Prairiefire. This generous donation by the museum administration is $95 value, which could be won by you with a 50-cent raffle ticket.
Also, the book sale list has grown. All the recent donations (including ones donated yesterday) have been processed. Some have been added to the library, and some have become part of the book sale.
I will most likely have one more update before the event. Please be on the lookout. Hope to see you there.
Thanks.
Melinda Slater

Hi all, Just a reminder that we are planning on a members night at Powell this Friday, May 4th. If anyone is interested in helping please let me know. You do not have to be a key holder. If you want to bring your own telescope, that would be fun as well. The event starts at 7:00 PM. Any and all helpers will be appreciated. This is part of our efforts to do things for our members as well as the public. Thanks. Rick Henderson Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.
Denise here. I will arrive to Powell a bit late, ETA at noon. Got roped into babysitting and my relief went arrive until 11. On Thu, Apr 26, 2018, 12:01 David Young youngmdavid@...

Hi, Everyone! I hope all who attended the 2nd Annual ASKC Library Book Sale & Raffle last night had a good time. There were around 450 books for sale and 20 different prizes up for raffle, with 24 chances to win. It was a very successful event, and the total raised last night is $461. That is about $80 over last year's event. In 2017, post-event book sales pushed the number just over $400. I am hoping this year to conquer the $500 mark, especially since I have those awesome books donated by the April General Meeting speaker, Dean Spieth. His book, The Best Times to See the Greatest Wonders of the West, was very popular at the event. There are still some copies left, and I think they would make a great, inexpensive gift for someone you know at $10. I will be leaving the Libib ASKC sale page up for those who wish to shop. Over the next few days, I will be inventorying to see which books remain, and adding some books that were donated the night of the event and have yet to sell. I'll post something when I'm finished doing that. If you want to shop before I've done the inventory, email me and ask if I have the books you would like. If I do, I'll be happy to set them aside for you. Please see the May CM for more details on my post-event plans, but all the books will be up for sale for a while. You can get to the book sale page by going to the Libib website and selecting "ASKC sale" on the left sidebar. I believe this list cuts off websites, but it's askc dot libib dot com If you have a suggestion for something you'd like to see in the library, I have money to buy it now, thanks to the generosity of all the donations and book shoppers and raffle participants. Thanks. Melinda Slater ASKC Librarian

Folks, Wow. Seriously, take a look at this beautiful video with a "fusion of real space imagery and fictional space visualizations" with narration by Carl Sagan. Super super - at https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ Make sure you are seeing the April 29 edition. And full screen. Enjoy - Dave Hudgins
I'm headed to Powell tomorrow to paint the bleachers. I'm supposed to avoid sunlight so this time I'll wear a hat and sunscreen. I looked like a tomatoe this morning after Saturday's festivities. I plan to be there at 11:00.
Another request. Any of you interested? If so ill try to get sonething scheduled. Note the prefered dates and time. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Allison Koger <Allison.Koger@...> Date: Mon, Apr 30, 2018, 9:34 AM Subject: RE: FW: After-School at Tony Aguirre Community Center To: David Young <youngmdavid@...> Hi David. I was wondering if you had a chance to look back at your schedule to see if we could arrange for a guest visit for our afterschool program. We have 45-50 kids, age 5-14. Our afterschool program is Monday-Friday, and we would be looking to have a guest sometime during the month of May. Tuesdays between 4:30-5:30 are the best for us, Thursdays or Fridays can work. We can separate our group by age if needed. Thanks.

We might be able to arrange something in the second half of April. Several of the possible presenters are headed out of town and will return mid April. In case I forget to contact you when I get back in country please send me a note after April 16 and I'll see if I can arrange something. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

Larry Herndon and I painted most of the bleachers. We ran out of paint. There's still about 30 minutes left to do. I painted the sides of the sign board but it was too windy to try to remove the plastic and paint under it. I also watered the new bushes and sod. Another couple of hours this week should finish things off for a while. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

We need to get the new tree in the ground asap. I wonder if we can get another couple of people to help plant the 5 new trees. The last time we rented an augar but we found the roots on these trees are small enough that I think we can just dig holes with a shovel. It would need to be Wednesday afternoon. I don't want to wait an do it in the rain. The last time I did that I came down with pneumonia and I'm still not completely over it. Any one else out there up for tree planting Wednesday?

Another couple of hours this week should finish things off for a while.

Not sure where you are looking, David, but this is REAL EVENT, as I described. I finally found the notice they sent me. They are “renting” the library’s auditorium for tonight. It is not a function of the library. 707 Vermont at 7:00 this Thursday. Jackie B.

I just stumbled on this wonderful description of the new John Glenn Astronomy Park that just opened near Columbus Ohio. This article has some detailed information and terrific ideas that could be very useful to our club members involved in planning the new Powell II project. (The article sort of inspired me anyway, heh-heh!) For project development ideas see http://www.astronomy.com/news/2018/05/john-glenn-astronomy-park?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+astronomy%2ForOJ+%28Astronomy.com+News+-+Presented+by+Astronomy+Magazine%29&utm_content=FeedBurner For the astronomy park website see https://jgap.info/ It's all very cool! : ^ ) Dave Hudgins
Hi all, Could still use a few more volunteers for this Friday night at Powell. Forecast is looking promising. If you're at all able and willing, please email me directly at rhenderson1@kc.rr.com or reply back to this email. Thanks. Rick Henderson Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.
I am planning on being there. Not certain what I can do. I am bringing my 8" Dobson to set up. Let me know if you can use me.Larry Herndonlahofkc@...

The AARP squad is on track to assemble at Powell for some painting, fence slat installation AND tree planting. We're going to try it without an auger this time. It looks like three out of the first five bushes planted last month made it. A second batch arrived Monday. We plan to remove the two dead ones and replant. The other three will be planted west of the bleachers. Come on down if you can spare some time today. We should be there about noon.
I'll be there.Larry Herndon

The finder scope has been put back onto the 30" with a new retaining screw for the diagonal. It will need to be aligned. Jim Carothers and Larry Herndon go finished painting the bleachers and did some more touch up on the picnic tables. Another burning bush was planted west of the bleachers.

FYI, in case you hadn’t noticed. The DSS weather station has been on line and reporting to WeatherUnderground for the last three weeks! I waited until I felt it was stable before mentioning it. Between the intermittent internet service and some weather sensor issues, the weather station has been off line for a LONG time. I was able to get the weather sensor and bridge operational at the Mar Messier Marathon. At that time the internet worked for about a day and then died again. Finally, about three weeks ago the internet was restored and has more or less been on line ever sense. Not sure how long it will stay on line, but for now, its working. It can be viewed on the “MyAcuRite.com” website and on WeatherUnderground as “Foster, MO” Enjoy Dave
Very cool. I found it by looking for Butler, MO on Wunderground. When you click to change the weather station it shows up as 'ASKC DSS STATION'. What type of weather station is it? I worked for an ag company that made use of Davis Instruments stations. If it is Davis, I may be able to offer some assistance. I've been wanting to [finally] visit the DSS anyway.

Its an Acurite 5in1 sensor monitored by an Acurite Bridge that reports to myAcurite.com. They then send the information on to WeatherUnderground. I suspect it is similar to the Davis systems. The Bridge is basically trouble free, the sensor needs yearly maint that I do when I make it up from Springfield. The real problem has been the internet provider. You really need to make it out to the DSS. It is an amazing place with all kinds of amenities to support observing. Its available to all club members. I try to make it up from Springfield at least 3-4 times a year. Sometimes I make it more often and others I’m only able to get there a couple of times. It a great place to observe and there is almost always someone there over new moon. Dave

May 4th, tonight is the opening night of the Warkoczewski 2018 public observing season. May 5th, 1981 was the day that the observatory was named in honor of Stanley and Helen Warkoczewski. A presentation highlighting some of the history will be given at 7:00PM in room 104. May 11th. Is ADA night and the roof will be closed for observing on the top level of the parking garage. A special mount will be used for a Meade 12" LX200AC GPS from David and Wendee Levy's National Sharing the Sky Foundation. This mount uses no tripod for easy access for those in wheel chairs. A live music ensemble will commence play at 8:00PM. Level 5 will be barricaded to prevent vehicle traffic. June 8th, the roof will again be closed and the observatory's staff astronomers will be inviting the public to bring their personal telescopes to receive some dedicated training, setup assistance as well as observing tips for the own to get more out of their instruments. If you would like to help on any of these nights or any night at the observatory, please contact me by email or phone via the information below.

Great turnout at Powell Friday night. Everything going great and when it got dark the 30" was fired up. uh oh. the dome wouldn't turn. Nick and Jason spend a few hours figuring out what was wrong. The storm a couple of nights ago fried a couple of solid state relays on the control panel in the closet. Nick thinks he has some spares and will attempt to install them tomorrow. If not we have an alternate plan to rotate the dome. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

If not we have an alternate plan to rotate the dome.

It was a nice evening for opening night Warko as well. Melinda and I couldn't stay long but we saw Joe's interesting presentation on the history of Warko. Would it be feasible to replace the failed solid state relays with old fashioned electro-mechanical type. They are much less susceptible to surges.

Possible but those relays are original so a 30+life span seems reasonable. Much depends on what Nick has "in stock". On Sat, May 5, 2018, 8:13 AM Alan Lehman lehman.alan@...

Nick and I will be at Powell around 1:00. Nick will work on the dome and I'll annoy him when I'm not cleaning up the leftover construction material outside.
David,
I thought about coming out and bugging the two of you, but I an not up to driving so far this soon after surgery. Monday, I go to physical therapy about 2 miles away. That will be far enough.

Hi, Everyone. Monday is the last chance to get non-astronomy books left from the book sale. If you are interested in one, please email me by Monday night. I will set it aside for you. After that they will disappear. I have non-fiction and fiction available. Please peruse the library online at askc.libib.com (askc dot libib dot com) and pick some out. The astronomy books will be available longer, and I will update you on the deadline for those when I have it. I have $20 in post-event sales so far, which brings the amount raised for ASKC Library to $481. That is only $19 shy of $500, which would be an awesome amount to reach. If you participate in the attainment of that goal, you also get a great book in return. Please email me at librarian@... (librarian at askc dot org). Thanks.

Another piece of David Lane's work is on APOD today. Nice work David. John Fitzgerald
Sunday, May 6 The GOOD - The DSS is mowed. The grass was pretty tall in places. - the lawn mowers started right up (after about a 10 minute battery charge on each) and ran good all day. - The water heater is installed.

3C-371.0 (UGC 11130) is typically at magnitude 14.2. Any idea what magnitude it is currently at? At a distance of 685 million light-years (z=0.051) , it's relatively close by, but can still be a challenge to see. I logged this galaxy September 9, 2015, at 23:09 CDT, at 209x. It was only briefly visible with direct vision and held steady with averted. It appeared as a stellar point with a faint, tiny diffuse glow surrounding it. The star pattern in my 22' field of view was easily identifiable. -Scott > > > > > > On April 25, 2018 at 8:53 PM "Joseph Wright jos.wright@yahoo.com [ASKC]" <ASKC@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > This came in from my Tucson club.

I'm going to get a bag of bug killer to spread on the grass west of the observatory. Are you considering treating the DSS to keep the tics and chiggers in check?

My own two cents worth, and worth every penny, is to err on the side of no chigger or tick bites, especially with tick borne diseases on the rise.
The stuff we've used in the past had been very effective against both and I would vote to go ahead and put some on the observing field.

I would also go with that, but the treatment doesn't limit itself to ticks and chiggers. Let me check out the bag, and see what is all killed. Don't need the field littered with dead dragonflies, bees, and ladybugs (all good to have). -Scott > On May 7, 2018 at 2:29 PM "rhenderson1 rhenderson1@...

Actually I used to spread a batch about the time it warmed up and more people started using the DSS. Kathy for instance commented on the mass of tics about the first part of June. I put down a second batch just before HOA. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@... On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 1:29 PM, SCOTT KRANZ s.kranz1@...

Hi everyone Still pretty new to the club and I have a Venus question. Is Venus so bright right now it is hard to focus in on? I feel like i get pretty good focus on Jupiter, but not so much on Venus. I remember getting a better visualization of it a year or so ago. Or do I just not know something? Clint
It could have more to do with the relative positions of Venus and Earth in their orbits than seeing conditions. Right now Venus is farther away from us than the sun but since it orbits faster than the Earth it's getting closer. As it gets closer it will change from it's current slight gibbous phase to a crescent. It will grow thinner but brighter due it's being closer. Give it a bit and you may find it's easier to focus. As it get's thinner it will get closer to the sun in the sky and then become invisible as it passes conjunction and moves into the morning sky. I think:-) Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@... On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 9:51 PM, clint66062@...

We had a good night, with 71 people attending and 12+ members with scopes. As we introduced the new program where visitors' group numbers at the gate is the same ones used for the 30", the lines were relatively short into the south door of the dome. I designated a team member as the "gatekeeper", allowing 4-5 in at a time, and it worked slick. Another important factor was that Keith Green, the presenter, kept the length of the presentations to about 25 minutes each.

Carroll,
That is outstanding!!!
I recall in recent past years May had poor attendance but you night went very well.
By any chance do you remember if most of the guests came around 8:00PM or did a good number come later?
The large number of members with scopes helped as well.

Joel, most came between about 7:45 -9:00 PM. The 8:00 pm published start time for the first part of the observing season, a little later than in previous years, also helped, I believe.

Keep in mind, Venus isn't always "round". It goes in phases of full just like the moon. Being so much brighter can be challenging. It's currently about three quarters. Try to focus getting the shape right will help. At least it does for me. Good question. Jim On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 9:51 PM, clint66062@...

Also, since Venus is SO BRIGHT against a dark background sky, it's difficult to focus on once it gets dark. And of course, the darker it gets, the lower Venus drops, and thus more air to look through. To get the best views of Venus observe as soon as you spot it. Better still, observe it in daylight hours when it is up high. The bright Venus against the blue sky makes for easier viewing and focusing. If you haven't tried it yet, try to spot Venus in the daytime sky with the naked eye. If you know where to look, and can block the Sun, it's actually fairly easy to do. Once you find it naked eye, point the scope at it (ALWAYS being careful of the Sun). Although not naked eye, I've had great telescopic views of Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn in the daytime as well. -Scott > On May 8, 2018 at 10:08 AM "Jim Ketchum jimketchum44@...

Thanks guys. I will try looking at Venus before it gets too dark. Clint
I need to trade my 24 May Duty Night for some other week. The 24May group size is only two, so it should be a nice night. Thanks, Don
There will be a short piece on KCTV5 at or near 4:45pm tonight about Warkoczewski Observatory's Friday night event with live music and accessible viewing for people who can't make it up the steps due to the stairs. Come and join the fun or share your scope. If you have a binocular mount that is of the cantilever variety, bring it. We will be setup in the top level of the parking garage across from Royall Hal. Start time is 8pm. Joe _______________________________________________________________________________ Joseph S.

If can trade I can do that.
My duty week is the following week. Could we trade? There aren't any private events currently scheduled for that week.

We can't take the ladder out of the dome until after Saturday's public night. If enough of team #2 shows up and sticks around we will have enough people to move the ladder into the classroom so the installer can lay new carpet in the dome on Monday. I intend to set the ladder onto furniture mover dollys so it can be rolled back into the dome. Setting it up Monday afternoon might be a trick. I may be able to rig up a hoist so we don't need an army to get it back up right. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

Volunteers Budd, Fitzgerald, Manifold, Stewart. Group size was 24; $220 collected. Objects observed in order of distance: Venus, Jupiter + 4 moons, Spica, ι Cancri, M44/Beehive, M104/Sombrero. Clouds early cleared in time for lots of fun, plus nailing several requirements for the Astronomy Academics Pin.

It will likely be noon or so before we can get the ladder back into the dome. I expect the dome will be the most time consuming for the installer due to the odd shape and the pier in the middle. I'll post a note Monday when I have a better idea of how long they will take. Of course we could always do some painting or something else while we waited.

Excellent Jay. I'm glad it cleared for you. We had a few holes early at Warko and then it clouded up. Maybe some of the clear sky blew north after I left. I'll log your event.

Also, group was from Gardner, so zip code may be safely assumed to be 66030 if we are tracking that.
Team Two arrived in force to start off the new year! Clouds were thick, but began to clear, so we started out by seeing one star in particular - the sun! - through the new Lunt Solar Telescope. And, it really is easy to set up. We also have a new speaker so we can get folks back into the classroom or dome, for their group's turn. (Great choice in speaker, David!) Due to clouds really not going away until an hour after sunset, the turn-out wasn't that great - 43 people, with about 7-8 of them children. Jupiter was a beautiful sight, along with a few galaxies. Later, team members helped David Young move the ladder out of the dome area, so the carpeting can get done the first of the week. Thanks to Team Two members: Ed Burns, Dan Johnson, Dave Brackey, Doug Wagers, John Fitzgerald, Randy Stewart and Richard Frederick. We also had helpers Christina Chang and Logan Honeycutt, who came down to help. David Young was there to help out through a few "first night glitches". Pete Jaffries was out in the field, as usual.. And perhaps others, but my mind is blank. Darn it. It was about the best night you could get after a day and evening of thick clouds!

I intend to be at Powell at 9:00. If you come down to help we will be taking chairs, tables, and cabinets outside so new carpet can be laid. I don't know how long the carpet project will take the installer but I'm betting on well past noon. If you can help in the morning there's some other things that can be tackled. Some minor painting, water the new plantings, stake the 4 new plantings, install some more fence slats, a little work on the south door and a few other minor projects. We will NOT be taking the ladder back inside unless we have plenty of help AND the installer says it's ok to do so before the glue cures. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
Is anyone available to swap public nights for May 26? Alex and I will be out of town and won't be able to make it to our team's public night. We need two people to swap with us, and would be glad to make up the swaps on different weekends. If you're available, please let me know here or by emailing Casey.m.carlile at Gmail dot com.Thank you so much! Casey Carlile

In addition to the normal work done by the men and women of team #2, the guys moved the ladder outside so the carpet could be installed. Also John Fitzgerald spread bug killer to the west of the observatory. No tics and chiggers for a while! We'll hit it again in a few of months. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

If you come down to help we will be taking chairs, tables, and cabinets outside so new carpet can be laid. I don't know how long the carpet project will take the installer but I'm betting on well past noon. If you can help in the morning there's some other things that can be tackled.
Some minor painting, water the new plantings, stake the 4 new plantings, install some more fence slats, a little work on the south door and a few other minor projects.
We will NOT be taking the ladder back inside unless we have plenty of help AND the installer says it's ok to do so before the glue cures.

The new speaker Jackie is referring to is a portable Public Address system. Guest have complained about not hearing announcements of groups so....The new system can be powered by ac or it's built in rechargeable battery. It has three wireless microphone options. A hand held "normal" mic, a headset mic and a clip on mic. The last two connect to a belt transmitter. I've tested the system and all work just fine. I suggest you hang the base unit on a fence post facing the field and keep the mic at the entrance table. Just switch it on when you need to make an announcement. There is also an illuminated sign that can be hung up to display the telescope group number. It must be manually changed as the group number changes. It will take as much as 5 second to change numbers.

The geezers met at Powell today at 9:00. The carpet guys showed up at 10:45. While we waited on them Jerel, Jim C, Larry H, and I proceeded to : Move the chairs and tables. The clover desk went to the kitchen and the metal cabinet went to the bathroom hall. We pulled the shrub out just east of the south dome door. I have a new bush to plant next time I'm down. The sod was watered and two hoses repaired. More slats were installed on the north fence line and Larry did some painting. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

This is really fascinating - live video of NEO asteroid WC9 using the Slooh telescopes. Great narration and explanation in this live program. I could not turn it off, and ended up watching for over half hour. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFZWMexh-54 About time 14 minutes you can see the asteroid motion in tracking over several exposures. Very interesting people talking too! This is great stuff. And it reminds me of the wonderful days when members of our club (Dick Trentman, David Young, Richard Fredrick and several others) were deeply involved in a world-wide effort of near-Earth asteroid tracking ...and made quite a name for Powell Observatory in the professional world. Good times, good times!! : ^ ) Dave Hudgins
Thanks to the volunteers the ladder, chairs, tables and doors are back in place in the observatory on the brand new carpet. Getting the ladder back inside was easier than getting it outside since some of the people who took it out helped put it back and we knew how to do it. Thanks to Gary H, Jim C, Jerel, Nick and Donald, and Rabbi the projects went fast. They even got the last of the bushes planted by the back door. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
Thank you all. You've all done a lot of work to get Powell ready for this summer season.

The new brochures are here.
The staff will be about half of the normal crew and your assistance is needed. Charles Kennedy is leading the night on the roof at UMKC. A Raytown middle school will be bringing one school bus of their astronomy club/class students and may sit in on Stuarts Riley, Ph.D.'s presentation on Backyard Astronomy and Selecting a Telescope or Binocular. So you say, I don't know what to do? First, send a message to Charles and I that you will be there. Can you stand by a computerized telescope and keep kids from grabbing the eyepiece?Can you stand by a telescope and say "look through here" while pointing and tell them what the object is?Can you have a good time? Can you promote astronomy, the Warko, UMKC, the ASKC and Powell Observatory?Can you say, "yes, that really is the moon...or Jupiter...or Venus"Can you inspire them to dream or imagine that they are walking with an Apollo Astronaut as the view the moon! The ASKC has been operating the "Warko" since May 2005! UMKC makes a large contribution to the ASKC for yearly operations through funding from grants. Did I mention that the Warkoczewski Telescope is probably the best Solar System instrument open to the public in the area. Thank you in advance for helping. Charles, Carol, Armida, Dale and Stuart will greatly appreciate the extra help. Thanks, Joe PS Keep in mind that there is a -2 hour difference for where I am at. _______________________________________________________________________________ Joseph S.

Much to the surprise of everyone, the rain stopped and the clouds (mostly) parted and we had opportunities to view a silver sliver of the moon, Venus and Jupiter. In fact, we were able to see Europa disappear behind Jupiter after a course of several minutes. Even the red spot made a guest appearance. Team three hosted 11 visitors, ten of whom were from the Westport Boy Scout troop. The eleventh was a gentleman who came all the way from Tiffany Springs, MO to visit us. Gary Martin gave two excellent programs on last year's solar eclipse along with some excellent photography of the eclipse he did. John Benz ran the 16", Alan Lehman ran the 30", Jerel Williams ran the gate, Mike Larkin, Jason Forst and Melinda Slater hosted our guests. We also had a new member, a young man by the name of Jack (I apologize that I forgot his last name, augh!) join our team. He is a student at JCCC and very interested in Astronomy. I did my usual wandering about aimlessly and marveled at the clear skies and how little the team needed my help. Thank you everyone for another good night at Powell Observatory!

Jackie, The classic astronomy misconception studied in Astro Ed research is Why does the Moon have Phases? Even very highly educated folks usually attribute the changing Moon phases to (1) shadow of the Earth on the Moon, or (2) clouds in Earth's atmosphere. Also - many people think that the changing shape we see varies with your location on Earth or even during the course of a single evening. Also, why do we have seasons? See the famous "A Private Universe" short video with Harvard grads explaining seasons at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrXaQu_qGeo Good luck!! : ^ ) Dave Hudgins

A few other possible topics:
Why stars twinkle and planets (usually) do not. Scintillation
What the milky way really looks like to the naked eye versus what you see in processed photos.Differences between meteors/meteor showers, meteorites, asteroids, and comets.While discussing moon phases, include the fact that Venus also goes through phases
Bonus question to the crowd: If the moon were made of barbeque spare ribs, would you eat it? (I know I would.)

Hopefully their $9 beers were better than Universal Studios. I was there last week and they use Florida Beer Company for Harry Potter and Duff beers, which has an odd (malty?) aftertaste I didn't care for.

Good ones! I should have those in the program. Trouble is…. It’s going to get way too long! J Jackie From: ASKC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASKC@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2018 1:53 PM To: ASKC@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [ASKC] Wrong ideas about facets of astronomy Jackie, The classic astronomy misconception studied in Astro Ed research is Why does the Moon have Phases? Even very highly educated folks usually attribute the changing Moon phases to (1) shadow of the Earth on the Moon, or (2) clouds in Earth's atmosphere. Also - many people think that the changing shape we see varies with your location on Earth or even during the course of a single evening. Also, why do we have seasons?

Thanks! I will add some notes to my notes… J From: ASKC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASKC@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2018 2:31 PM To: ASKC@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: RE: [ASKC] Wrong ideas about facets of astronomy A few other possible topics: Why stars twinkle and planets (usually) do not. Scintillation What the milky way really looks like to the naked eye versus what you see in processed photos. Differences between meteors/meteor showers, meteorites, asteroids, and comets. While discussing moon phases, include the fact that Venus also goes through phases Bonus question to the crowd: If the moon were made of barbeque spare ribs, would you eat it?

6 PM is when it starts. Snacks and drinks are at 5:30. This will be a hoot! I’m looking forward to it. I am trying to find a video of Earth and Mars in their orbits which will illustrate why opposition occurs only every 26 months. If any of you can find one, please let me know! Thanks.

I was planning on taking my 6th grader, wholikes astronomy, but I forgot I have to take him to his baseball game. Too bad because the presentation sounds interesting and it looks like it will be a nice night to hang out down there.
I watched a few videos on Youtube and these were the best ones that appeared to be geared towards teaching.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iseI3PotzyYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDnxIA7EyJg
NASA has one on their site as well.
https://mars.nasa.gov/allaboutmars/nightsky/opposition/
I tried also searching for mars retrograde motion videos but didn't find much. I did find out life is about to get very frustrating, or maybe it was that I'm about to get very creative...or maybe it was impulsive but energetic. No one seemed to agree and it reminded me of the type of predictions you get from fortune cookies.

Try that again. I hit the left cap and the message took off...wonderful technology. 1) Many thanks to the folks who gave a hand at Warko last week. It was greatly appreciated. 2) We're Back. Rita and I were in Tucson for week assisting with an U of A astronomy workshop. Becoming employees of Steward Observatory has been exciting. The workshop took place at The Biosphere 2 UA facility with visual telescope viewing at the Mt. Bigelow 61" Kuiper Telescope. Mt. Bigelow is just below the Mt. Lemmon summit. Typically, we watched sunset from the summit and observed at Bigelow. Yes, views with this at 8,000 feet were amazing. Looking forward to our return in the Fall. Many very long nights, but well worth the lack of sleep. Targets:M51Ghost of JupiterSaturnJupiterM52 Quasars!Jupiter Shadow TransitMoonand a few others. 3) On the way home we stopped in Socorro, NM to visit with ASKC member Mike Sterling. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting Mike, he is one great guy! Mike has a great passion for outreach astronomy and a great personality. If you're down that way, looking him up or give him a shout here. He posts from time to time. Sincerely, Joe _______________________________________________________________________________ Joseph S.

Will Warko be on the roof or on the parking lot? I seem to remember a old email that Fridays would be on the parking lot. Gil Machin
I think that's only special events. On the roof last week. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@... On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 10:35 AM, trebligw@...

A small contingent of ASKC'ers have headed west to show sunspots (if any), the Moon, Venus and maybe some other stuff to the cadets and seniors of the Kansas Civil Air Patrol. Hopefully they will share some BarBQ with us. Jerel and Kathy Williams and Denise Moser are rolling with nothing more than 100 mm aperture but clouds appear to not be a problem. Denise
The only other special event is the evening of June 8th that will be be on the top level of the garage. ALL Others are at the Warko proper.
June 8th is for the public and members to bring personal telescopes for tips and tricks on setup and observing.

Marcia,
Do you still have the VLA story l told you not to use?

Anyone else seen similar reporting? From Heavens Above: The end of Iridium flares? Several people have reported Iridium Flares not showing up as predicted in the last few weeks. It seems that many of the first generation of satellites are now being de-orbited to make way for the next generation which are becoming operational. We just went through the list of satellites which we have tagged as flare producers and removed over 20 which have already left their operational orbit. The satellites are still there, but because the attitude is presumably no longer being tightly controlled, they may not produce reliable flares. We will endeavour to keep the database up-to-date over the coming weeks using the information on Ron Sladen's status list. Several of the first generation satellites are presumed to be kept in orbit as spares for the new generation, and it could be that the attitude is not tightly controlled when they are in the spare status, meaning there could be further disappointments with flares predicted for these satellites. Unfortunately, the new satellites are not expected to produce flares, so it looks like they could soon become a thing of the past. Chris Peat, Munich, May 15th, 2018
Hey everyone,I want to schedule a night to reserve the observatory for the Ubuntu community. I asked them about that and they're very excited! They meet not too far north from the observatory. It would need to be on a Friday night since I think all the Saturday nights are full. Which Friday nights are open and who should I contact to arrange this? It will be a great time full of good genuine families. There is actually potential down the road because they will be buying some land somewhere I'm sure out away from light pollution. I posted a facebook link of them. Now they're community is 640 people but there is no way that many will show up. I'm thinking 50 or less. Many of them are talented in so many way so it will be good for making connections too.

I suppose in an ideal world, one wouldn't have to have a Federal law against ignorant behavior such as this. Today's news tells us otherwise. Watch those green lasers folks. 1 arrested, KCPD pilot recovering after hit in eye with laser while flying KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) - A Kansas City Police Department pilot is recovering after someone pointed a laser at the cockpit during flight. Now, police are warning against the federal offense. Police say the laser hit the pilot directly in the eye but luckily, he was able to react quickly. "That pilot was able to get his night vision goggles on quickly and recover the safe flying of the aircraft," KCPD Sergeant Jake Becchina said. Department investigators worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to track down the suspect, using a GPS interface in the helicopter to pin down a specific address. One person was taken into custody and is facing federal charges. The FBI says the handheld laser that was used is one that can easily be found. "These are lasers you can buy just off the shelf. They have commercial and private use and you know these are, some are common," FBI agent Thomas Relford said. "Anybody can buy these off the shelf." Department officials say the pilot is expected to recover and will be able to keep flying.

Team 5 is short handed tonight. I should be there but may not make the star time. I'm babysitting a generator to keep three freezers from thawing. Powers had been out for 10 hours now and no one knows when it will be back. So...a brief how to for the solar scope... I like to set up the short table along the fence and put the two cases on the table. Set the Ioptron mount on the pier and secure with the tee bolt. Align the arrow on the base to the south. Attach the solar scope and point it straight up. Attach the hand controller in either socket. Run an extension cord from the outside, south east corner of the LCT to near the solar pier. Run the cord along the fence. Plug the power adapter into the cord and the Ioptron and turn the Ioptron on. Wait until the screen indicates OK in the GPS at the top right. When it says ok select solar system, then sun. Tab past the warning and it will slew close to the sun. You can attach the finder with the elastic band or you can just aim with the shadow. Start with the zoom eyepiece set to low power. You will need to slide the right angle eyepiece holder out until the sun comes into focus. Once you are close you can use the rack and pinion. To tune for the best details screw/twist the large black knob clock wise until you get the best detail. Twist back and forth to get the best view. The best view of surface detail may not give the best view of promineces. Typed on the little keys on my phone. Hope power comes back on soon!
Many calls today. Many guests anticipated.
Greetings. Team 5 hosted 77 guests at Saturday's public night. The low turnout, given the near-perfect night, surprised us. While the seeing wasn't perfect, transparency (and lack of a light dome) was as good as I've seen in a decade at Powell. We could see the triangle of alpha and beta Lup and zeta Cen on the southern horizon at 2230. Temperatures were pleasant, and the humidity low. We welcomed help from three additional volunteers-Dana Ulmo, Sylas, and Grayson (spelling?) on the LCT-and David Young, our observatory director. On the field were members: John Benz Dave Hudgins John Fitzgerald Doug Wagers Ethan Wagers And one or more later arrivals. Thanks to all, and a special thanks to Team 5, for taking time out of your busy week to share the night sky. Mike Stewart
I swear (often) I saw David Hudgins. Maybe I was hallucinating (only occIsionally). On Sun, Jun 3, 2018, 1:26 PM 'M Stewart' mike.n0tu@...

Anyone planning on going to the DSS tonight? Glen Leber 913-706-3734 gleber@att.net
Scott Kranz (et. al.), A sign is posted on Route V as you turn onto it from 52 on the way to the Dark Sky Site saying ""Route V Closed 6/6/18". Details from the MODOT site are below. Glen Leber gleber@att.net 913-706-3734 (cell) Local News Releases Southwest District Office: (417) 895-7600 May 29, 2018 12:30 PM Bates County Route V CLOSED for Bridge Replacement & Rehabilitation Beginning Week of June 4 Bates County – Bates County Route V north of Foster will be CLOSED starting the week of June 4 when the bridge over the Marais Des Cygnes River is replaced and the bridge over Pecan Creek is rehabilitated, the Missouri Department of Transportation said. Contractor crews will replace the Marais Des Cygnes River with a longer, slightly wider bridge. The Pecan Creek bridge will get a new deck, or driving surface, and also will be slightly wider than the current structure. The closure of Route V will encompass both bridges. Drivers will not be able to travel between SW 178 Road and NW 1002 Road. No detour will be signed on this project. Drivers are urged to find alternate routes around the work zone. Drivers can get to entrances on either end of the closure. However, they will not be able to cross the bridges during construction. Road signs and message boards will alert drivers to the bridge closings. Weather and/or scheduling delays could alter the work schedule. Completion Date: November 1, 2018 (However, the contractor expects Route V to reopen to traffic by mid-September) (For more information, call MoDOT in Springfield at 417-895-7600 or visit www.modot.org/southwest)

Hmmmm...There is in fact a rather convoluted route coming in from US 69 that is actually shorter than going all the way over to V highway and then going south. Turn south on State Line Road just before you get to Amoret. Go 6.14 miles south to 3988. Go 1 mile east on 13527. Go .6 miles north to U highway. Go 2 miles east to 11517. Follow it north around a jog and it will run into 778. That's the road the DSS is on. 1/4 mile east of where the road curves is the entrance to the DSS. It's actually slightly shorter than the route down V we normally take. It's likely longer time wise since it's mostly "back"roads. From the east it looks like it's better to continue past Butler to Rich Hill and then head west through Foster to get back to V and go north to 998. Not nearly as catastrophic as I thought at first. Of course the alternate routes will be well scouted long before the HOA. We have meals, and all costs set and Marcia is working on the registration form as I type this. A new web banner off to Chris. Tee shirt designs are being created. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
Whoa! That does add quite a few miles and strange detours.... Where is the Pecan Creek Bridge? Local News Releases say "The closure of Route V will encompass both bridges, Drivers will not be able to travel between SW 178 road and NW 1002 road." A map I found shows 178 is the first road south of the Marais Des Cygne bridge, and 1002 is the closest east-west road to the north of it. So, it may just be possible to drive down the interstate past 52 to Rich Hill, and then west over to V and north, to county road 998, but that is not very clear from the articles. That adds quite a few miles and time, I think. Similar detours would be needed from the west. More info and real-life exploration is needed!

Pecan bridge is just west of the big curve where steam engine sits. First curve in V south of 52.

Any more details about the event on top of the parking garage?
As with most astronomical events, it is weather permitting.
For those bringing a telescope, I suggest arriving no later than 7:30pm. You will need to move and replace the barricade to access Level 5. If you are coming to assist, park on Level 4. KCMO's ADA compliance office has sent a message to three or so agencies that deal with citizens with mobility issues. So, I don't know how turn out will be. Not doing any televisions and only mentioning it on social media and websites, I have no clue how many people will bring personal telescopes for guidance.
I will have a clipboard for people to sign up for mentoring. We will work from this list.

Hi all, Just another request for helpers for this Friday's member night at Powell. So far no one has replied to my earlier request and I'm a bit worried about being the only one there to run the event. In addition, it is likely we will be combining Dave Hudgins' member observing event with Powell so that's a double yikes. If you're able to help, please reply to this email or directly to me at rhenderson1@kc.rr.com. Thanks. Rick Henderson Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.
Kathy and I will be there. If the weather is.... Gil Machin On Tue, Jun 5, 2018 at 2:41 PM, rhenderson1 rhenderson1@...

Five weeks late, but anyway, it’s out there. Legend on 2nd tab. tl;dr: August 11th, weather permitting, should be the busiest night of the year — Mars plus Perseids in general, tell people to come see Mars on 7/21, 7/28, 8/4, or 8/11; best since 2003 or until 2035
Hi, all: Had a wonderful night of observing last night at the DSS. A few clouds at dusk, but by 10:00 PM they all were gone and the night was great with a slight breeze to keep the bugs down and made for comfy observing. It was a challenge to get there with Hwy V closed. Went through Pleasanton and only got lost once. The "road" I turned on ended up as a private drive. Was a challenge backing up a 24 foot motor home with a cargo trailer in tow, but was able to finesse it into another drive way and got turned around. There was another camper at the DSS when I got there Sunday, but they packed up and left before I found out who it was. So, I had the whole site to myself. The field is only a fourth mowed with only two poles mowed around. #5 and #6. The rest of the field is knee deep, which means the chiggers have more of an opportunity to get you if you venture out of the mowed area. All in all, it was a good night. Jim
No, the new phone books aren’t here, but I had to share my experience at the Lowell Observatory last week.....we were touring the Clark Telescope and they asked me to power it up! I was so excited that I had my wife take a pic of me at the switch......it’s the little things you know. Also, while we were there a high level meeting was going on and the daughter of Clyde Tombaugh was there. Coincidentally, my wife is the daughter of Clyde Thornbrugh and she was there the exact same time! Can’t make that stuff up! Thanks for letting me rant! Clear skies everyone...... Sent from my iPhone

Can you rummage around in the REBB and see if you can locate the "chaffing" dish setup. Pans and frame and maybe some stereo cans. On Mon, Jun 11, 2018, 12:30 PM Jim Ketchum jimketchum44@...

If anyone goes to the DSS please look for the chaffing dishes/Pans and the wire frames and sterno. We will want them for this years HOA and havent been able locate them. No sense buying them again.
Has anyone tried the direcrions I sent for getting to the site from the Kansas side.
I'm back home now. Forgot to mention the Wifi isn't working at the DSS. Jim On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 1:29 PM, Denise Moser dennyzen@...

Yes, some of the Warko's staff is busy at Mt. Lemmon working as educators for the Teen Astronomy Camp program and so, the Warko will be short staffed this Friday and next Friday. Please contact Charles Kennedy to let him know you will be there to assist. Thank you! While the days are very long and tiring, it is most exciting. By time all is said and done, we will be trained operators of the 24". 32" and 61" telescopes up here. Today a grad student and I spent time on the 24" doing some software upgrades and downloaded the orbital data to observe the asteroid Vesta tonight. Yesterday, Rita and I assisted Don McCarthy in charging the camera on the Minnesota 60" telescope's camera with nitrogen to do some infrared astronomy. While taking in some views today around the complex, I got to talk a little with Greg Leonard of the Catalina Sky Survey. This group uses the 60" observatory built for the Apollo Program. On this web page: ,https://catalina.lpl.arizona.edu/about/facilities in the picture saying "G96", you can see the huge, steel rod that was in place in our first use of the scope in 2004 to move it around. If time allows, I will join him one evening during his observing and imaging session. Looking forward to spending an night at the Larger Binocular Telescope and also using the Submillimeter doing radio astronomy.

I plan to be there as well.
Alex and I mowed the DSS field yesterday in the 96 degree heat. We actually had to mow most of it twice since it was getting so tall. I also sprayed 8 gallons of Round-Up around buildings, posts, bathroom, shower, picnic table, etc. I will do a more thorough spraying of the gravel drive a month or so before the HOASP. I did not spread the tick/chigger granules. It was already 7:30 by the time we finished mowing and spraying, and it was just to hot. And the entire field had a thick layer of cut grass on it. I'll give the cut grass a week to dry up, and then go out to spread. Whoever had a trailer parked near power post #6, you left a red plastic ground board in the field. It is now in the building. And whoever has been eating Jolly Ranchers on the east side of power post #8, STOP throwing the wrappers on the ground! Found several of them out there. I can also confirm that both the field, and the indoor, wi-fi are not working. Regarding getting to the DSS...... Normally it is 62 miles, and it takes a hour and 5 minutes to get there from my Raymore home. Going down, I went down to Rich Hill, and took AA over to V just east of Hume, and went north. Mileage was 78 miles and it took 1 hour, 25 minutes. Lots of curves on V between Hume and the DSS. Coming back home, I went through Foster and took DD down to AA and it cut the mileage to 74 miles and 1 hour 15 minutes. The road is straighter, but it would be awfully rough for a trailer. Going back down Saturday, I plan to take 52 over to state line and head south and come by Worland and see what the mileage and time are like. But i think some of those roads might be gravel..... will have to see. After leaving the DSS, we drove up to the bridge that is being worked on. At 7:45pm, they were still working on it, so maybe it's a rush job. Maybe it won't be closed for too much longer. ......can only hope! -Scott
Thanks for the report Scott. I've been ruminating over killing the grass in the drive and around the gravel around the building. The chigger/tic stuff was spread at Powell last month, I think John F did it but we had a lot of guys working that day. The next time you need some help let me know and I'll come down hopefully with some reinforcements. Are there any projects that need to be done? Any repairs?

I hit parts of the gravel, but i'll fill the 20 gallon wagoned sprayer and hit that closer to the HOASP. After it initially kills everything, it seems like it only takes a couple weeks for new weeks to start coming up. Actually yes, there are 3 items that need some work: ---- 1) the stand-alone power panel that is just west of the building doorway, and east of the plastic sheeting roll, needs a new "roof" cover. It was tore up pretty badly this Spring by cattle rubbing up against it using it as a scratch post. A couple small pieces of plywood and some 2x4's should take care of it. It doesn't need to be shingled, unless someone has a few dozen extra tar shingles lying around (any color). If no shingles, then just a good painting to seal the plywood from the weather. ---- 2) the "announcement board" either needs to be straightened up, or tore out of the ground and burned. I've never seen it ever being used for anything except for a mounting spot for the dinner bell. The dinner bell can always be mounted on the building, showers, or transformer post. The only other purpose it has now is a perfect nesting location for wasps. Speaking of wasps...... last month there was a partial can of "No Pest Wasp & Hornet Killer". Does anyone know where it came from and where i can get more? I've tried several other brands, but either the wasps are getting stronger, or the sprays are getting weaker. This "No Pest" brand actually knocked them down out of the air instantly...... a claim that many of the brands make, but this is the only one i've actually seen do it. ---- 3) the picnic table paint should be scraped and repainted before the HOASP. The paint is pealing off pretty bad. > On June 15, 2018 at 11:19 AM "David Young youngmdavid@... [ASKC]" <ASKC@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > > > > Thanks for the report Scott.

Menard's has No Pest Wasp and Hornet Killer brand at $1.87 per 14 oz spray can. Amazon and Walmart are out of stock so I'd head to Menard's post haste and buy a dozen cans. I will take some off of your hands for Powell. Might want to call ahead and make sure they still have some. It seems to be quite popular and they may sell out.

I was at the DSS Thursday nite, 6-14/ 15, stayed clear and the observing field looks nice. But I think mosquitoes are now the new state bird. I have been using one of these Riobi rechargeable fans that can be used both on its 18V rechargeable batt,. or just on regular plug in AC. The mosquitoes don't seem to like the noise of the fan much on high or how hard the fan blows on high, plus it kept me cooler sleeping in my van. I found a route from the Kansas side that may be a little longer, but seems less complicated. From 52 Hwy west of Amoret, turn South on State Line Rd to 2708 Rd. Turn East on 2708, which becomes Rd. 2788, until you reach U County Rd junction. Then turn South on U Rd, which later curves east past Grace Fellowship Church and continue East until you come to V county Rd. Turn left, and go North on V Rd. until you reach Rd 998 and go west on 998 and you will reach the gate of the DSS. Hope that helps. Phil Robbins

Team 1 hosted 71 visitors Saturday night. The clouds were fairly thick early with some open spots, and the skies improved a little more later. Jupiter and its 4 moons were majestic as always and Venus and a few other objects were visible as well, in spite of the clouds. Thanks to team members Lindin Scott, Bill Boyle, David Preston, Debbie Harrelson, Keith Green, Seth Seagraves and Paul Macek for an outstanding team effort tonight. In addition ASKCers Sylas Shulista, Gerald Williams, Jim Ketchum, Jackie Beucher, David Young, Pete Jaffries, Shelley Granger and granddaughter, and Gil & Kathy Machin were there to assist and support us tonight. I may have skipped a few others-my apologies if I did! It was a fun night. We weren't able to leave an adequate number of smaller bills when we closed out the night, so team #2 needs to bring a good supply of smaller bills to next Saturday night's public night. *Carroll Iorg* *Media Officer & Convention Coordinator* *Astronomical League* *9201 Ward Parkway, Suite #100* *Kansas City MO 64114* *816 333 7759* *carroll.iorg@... <carroll.iorg@...>* *www.astroleague.org* <http://www.astroleague.org/>

Actually yes, there are 3 items that need some work: ---- 1) the stand-alone power panel that is just west of the building doorway, and east of the plastic sheeting roll, needs a new "roof" cover. It was tore up pretty badly this Spring by cattle rubbing up against it using it as a scratch post. A couple small pieces of plywood and some 2x4's should take care of it. It doesn't need to be shingled, unless someone has a few dozen extra tar shingles lying around (any color). If no shingles, then just a good painting to seal the plywood from the weather. ---- 2) the "announcement board" either needs to be straightened up, or tore out of the ground and burned. I've never seen it ever being used for anything except for a mounting spot for the dinner bell. The dinner bell can always be mounted on the building, showers, or transformer post. The only other purpose it has now is a perfect nesting location for wasps. Speaking of wasps...... last month there was a partial can of "No Pest Wasp & Hornet Killer". Does anyone know where it came from and where i can get more? I've tried several other brands, but either the wasps are getting stronger, or the sprays are getting weaker.

The DSS WiFi is working again and working well. It appears that the problem is overheating due to two factors. First, the REBB gets pretty hot during these very, very warm days and the computer equipment is not industrial rated, so they can overheat. Second, and this is probably the main reason, I found the router sitting on top of the power supply and the modem sitting on top of the router. The modem in particular was VERY warm, almost uncomfortable to the touch. Once I separated the equipment, let it all cool down and then did a unit-by-unit power cycle, everything worked properly. I did a speed test and received 12 Mbs download and 6 Mbs upload. Not bad for satellite. I used the WiFi all weekend with zero problems. I will be installing a thermostat-controlled cooling fan at some point, but I didn't' have one with me on this trip. The wireless network inside the building is REBB. The network for the field is DSS. I set up two separate WiFi networks due to the metal in the REBB knocking the signal way down in the building and the DSS antenna is pointed towards the observing field. The password is the same for both. If you don't have the password, email me directly and I will send it to you. If the WiFi is not working, please don't mess with or move any of the equipment. Just email Scott Kranz or me and we'll deal with it. I practically had to untie knots in the Ethernet cables to separate and space out the equipment. Thanks. Rick Henderson
I've tried it before, i think. Lasts just as long as Round-up straight concentrate.

I'm looking for a sub this Saturday (2018-06-23) to take my spot on Team Two. My co-workers have sponsored me in the Relay for Life for this weekend so I will not be able to help out at Powell. I can trade with other team members as well. Thanks, Doug Wagers

So, is anybody in the club actually observing these Mars dust storms?? (Yes, I admit to not yet getting up early enough to check this out myself, heh-heh!) Anybody? Dave Hudgins
BIG SUNSPOT ALERT: Yesterday, sunspot AR2715 did not exist. Today, it sprawls across more than 60,000 km of solar surface with a primary dark core wider than Earth. So far the active region has not produced any big flares, but this could change if its development proceeds apace.
The telescope in visual mode is D=1.54m, FL=9.6m, f/13.5. Observed Mars around 0100 local.
Mars didn't appear any redder than I recall from the past. Actually, it was a bit more pale and maybe this is attributed to the dust storm. The South Polar ice cap was clearly visible as well as Southern Hemisphere surface features. I also could see a bluish hue along North Polar region of the North Polar Hood. This looks like a thin blue haze or atmosphere. Seeing wasn't the best tonight, but the temperature at 8,235ft was pleasant. The forecast is for continued clear skies. It will be interesting to see what we get to do at Mt. Graham and the LBT and the radio telescope. Observing proposals were completed tonight and review begins tomorrow for telescope allocation time.
I might get some images of Mars over the next few days. The big push is to image with the 12" and 24" while doing spectroscopy with the 60" and 61". See ya,
Joe

For those of you that might be interested….. Jackie ________________ I have written the program LET'n'C, (Lunar Eclipse Timer and Camera controller) for for partial and total lunar eclipses. It is an equivalent to solar eclipse photography programs. A Windows computer and a Canon EOS digital camera are required. Two total lunar eclipses will occur in the next months: 1. July 27, 2018, 20:22 UTC, visible from Africa, Australia and regions around the Indian Ocean. 2. January 21, 2019, 05:12 UTC, perfectly visible from the Americas. LET'n'C is available for free from my web site RobertNufer.ch. You find it on the colorful top row... Cheers and all the best, Robert

Hey, I'm not going to lie, it is awesome and to have the keys to the place is cool!
I was operating the 61" last night. Tonight I plan to use Don McCarthy's 12" LX200 classic in a dome up here with a CCD camera. The 2Mass spectrometer has been loaded on the Minnesota 61" and another spectrometer was put on the Kuiper 61" at M. Bigelow after we finished visual observing. The Dumbbell Nebula filled the entire eyepiece. When viewing M13, you feel like you are inside of it. The color of the various nebulae has been interesting. This includes the Blinking Planetary and the Cat's Eye.
My room is inside the Learning Center where the Sky Center programs are held. It is pretty much non-stop activity. It will be rough coming back to the humidity and cloudy skies.

Mars didn't appear any redder than I recall from the past. Actually, it was a bit more pale and maybe this is attributed to the dust storm. The South Polar ice cap was clearly visible as well as Southern Hemisphere surface features. I also could see a bluish hue along North Polar region of the North Polar Hood. This looks like a thin blue haze or atmosphere. Seeing wasn't the best tonight, but the temperature at 8,235ft was pleasant. The forecast is for continued clear skies. It will be interesting to see what we get to do at Mt. Graham and the LBT and the radio telescope. Observing proposals were completed tonight and review begins tomorrow for telescope allocation time.
I might get some images of Mars over the next few days. The big push is to image with the 12" and 24" while doing spectroscopy with the 60" and 61". See ya,
Joe

So, is anybody in the club actually observing these Mars dust storms??
(Yes, I admit to not yet getting up early enough to check this out myself, heh-heh!)
Anybody?

HI, everyone.. Many of you knew and remember Bob Nederman, who used to be President of the ASKC long ago. He got into the telescope/astronomy stuff business later in his life, and went to various star parties around the country, in his fancy Dodge Ram 250 Van. His widow, Chrys, has it ready for sale now. Here is some of the information. 1994 Maxi-Van Travel Camper, B250 Maxi 127" 5.9 liter V8 engine, automatic 149,976 miles 3-door, white with blue striping Trailer hitch, table, beds, toilet, sink, pop-up roof, and much more... All service records The inside is a travel camper! Stove, microwave, 'fridge, KOA ready $4300.00 Crystal has lots of pictures and a more complete explanation she can send you: crystal.nederman@... She lives near 95th Street and 69 Hiway in Overland Park. Or you can call her at 913-515-0450. I just got a camper out of my garage, and have no place to put another one, or I'd get this! Bob took good care of his stuff. You all get first shot at this.. I hope we can find a home for it.

A brief news article about an unusual bright object discovered by the twin 0.5m ATLAS telescope in Hawaii caught my eye last night. A possible type Ic supernova with a 3 day rise time (the time from explosion to maximum brightness) that got up to mag 13.8 and is now 14.6 and dimming. There are currently 24 ATels of observations from various observatories. I don't usually keep an eye on this sort of thing but am finding the ongoing developments fascinating for some reason. We may be hearing more about this in the days to come. Second ATLAS followup observation, additional ATels on the right side of the page. http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=11742 Summary, pics, location https://www.calsky.com/?coorSystem=WGS84&lon=-86.02361111111111&lat=43.26361111111111&timezone=5&obsbuild=1&nominiobs=on&level=3&sitename=M.A.S.+Facility&SN= Brad Weaver | weaver.brad@...

Amazing images, and videos. Especially the linking hypertext that shows the final resting place of the Phalea lander and the interview of team members and researcher Cecelia who spotted the lander on the surface. Wow - we live in an amazing time for astronomy! : ^ ) See http://earthsky.org/space/rosetta-spacecraft-image-archive-complete?utm_source=EarthSky+News&utm_campaign=dd8e0ce326-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_02_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c643945d79-dd8e0ce326-394617757 Also the "Winning shot" of Phalea lander at http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta/Philae_found Dave Hudgins
Thanks Dave. Great pictures. Pete
I've just been informed by the contact person for this Friday, June 29 that they've been drumming up extra people. They now expect 50 + people to show up. That's bit more than originally anticipated. Mike Larkin and I could certainly use some help with this new ASKC club member's group. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

Awesome! I look forward to seeing those. Some of the pics I've seen show a visible tail or jet coming off the object. Lots of telescopes around the world and in space are still observing.

I have only had a couple chances to volunteer for Friday nights at Warko and that was when the roof was closed last year. Should we bring our own telescopes to set up or is space too limited for that?

Oops...I saw the subject line and just assumed Warko since Joe and others might still be out of town in AZ. My question was about bringing telescopes when volunteering at Warko on Friday nights. I volunteered a couple times last year and brought my 8" dob for the top of the garage, but I haven't had the chance to go on the roof yet (weekends are busy with four boys).
I know bringing our own scope is always welcome at Powell, but it's an hour drive from the northland for me.
Thanks

Most likely about 6:30. Jason and Charles had their hearts set on "Monolith Monsters", but I think it will be another selection.

We will not open the roof until 9:00pm due to the heat warning in place.
Those of us arriving early, will most likely be in room 104 watching a SciFi movie with our dinner. Our own version of MST3K.

Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the ASKC group.

Just came back from the DSS..... We spread chigger/tick granules over the observing field. We covered the central area, about 40 feet north of the north line of power posts, and about 30 feet south of the south line of power posts. I will get more granules and hit it again a few weeks before the HOASP. Things..... (1) not sure if was the farmer, or someone from the ASKC, but when padlocking the entrance gate, PLEASE put the padlock on the BOTTOM link of each chain. This makes MUCH easier access to the tumblers to unlock it next time. (2) On the field we found, a 9v battery, a 12-inch bungee cord, a plastic solo clear cup, and several pieces of wax paper that look like they came from the back side of hook-n-loop (Velcro) strips. PLEASE pick up your trash!!! (3) DO NOT LEAVE PAPER PRODUCTS sitting out inside the building! This is just nesting material for the mice. There was a half roll of paper towels on the counter that had several large junks eaten out of it. I threw the whole roll away. BEFORE leaving, always put paper towels back into the fridge or a plastic container. (4) the grass has been baled and there are now 31 bales on the west side of the driveway. We will be mowing the observing field July 10. My next week is already full. and lastly....... THANK YOU to RICK & STEVE for rebuilding the cover (roof) on the electrical panel just to the west of the front door to the building! It looks great!!!!! -Scott DSS Manager
Thanks, Scott. You did a lot of work in our already uncomfortably hot summer.
And the chick and tigger (hah) granules are MUCH appreciated!

Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.

I just called the scout leader, and told her I'd come out to give a presentation to 100 boy scouts that are out there camping this weekend. (The other astronomy presenter had to cancel.) IF it manages to be clear this evening, is there 1-2 of you that could come with telescopes? Thanks!

Well, we saw Jupiter, the cloud nebula, Jupiter, cloud nebula, Jupiter, clouds, lightning, and then went home. Still, we had about 60 people show up at Powell tonight. Gary Martin gave three programs assisted by Keith Green, Sylas (I don't remember his last name, augh), Jack Conners and Alan Lehman ran the Ruisinger 30", Jerel Williams and Mike Larkin ran the gate, John Benz ran the LCT 16", Melinda Slater ran the crowd and I ran around. Matthew Forst also showed up sans Jason and Twyla, to hang out and help a bit. We had a roughly 4-hour "old" new member, Brandon and his very sweet daughter Ava, come out tonight with friends and Gary and I showed Brandon how to use his reflector equatorial mount telescope and dot finder. And Brandon found Jupiter with his scope, possibly for the first time. Yahoo! Many thanks to everyone on team 3 and extra helpers in the field Jim Ketchum and Pete Jafferis, the "Dobsonian Gang". David and Marcia Young came out and installed a new door knob and lock on the south door of the dome. Then there was a mention of fried chicken, possibly at Lucille's in Louisburg, and then they skedaddled. We shut down about 10:00 due to the lightning that kept getting closer and closer. Other than that, though, we had a fun night and it was good to see everyone at Powell. Rick Henderson
Nice work for such a night!!!

Now.. Out where I was with over 100 cub scouts, it was mostly pouring rain and was lots of lightening and wind. But they have a huge pavilion (60'x120'), so I could drive in it and unload. I gave a program on Mars, which they enjoyed. They had a huge screen, and audio, so that made it better. Members of the Astronomy Associates of Lawrence showed up with telescopes for the scouts to see... but not much through them. When I left, and went south on K-7... no trace of rain there, or at home in Overland Park. It was a good night.

Still, we had about 60 people show up at Powell tonight. Gary Martin gave three programs assisted by Keith Green, Sylas (I don't remember his last name, augh), Jack Conners and Alan Lehman ran the Ruisinger 30", Jerel Williams and Mike Larkin ran the gate, John Benz ran the LCT 16", Melinda Slater ran the crowd and I ran around. Matthew Forst also showed up sans Jason and Twyla, to hang out and help a bit. We had a roughly 4-hour "old" new member, Brandon and his very sweet daughter Ava, come out tonight with friends and Gary and I showed Brandon how to use his reflector equatorial mount telescope and dot finder. And Brandon foun d Jupiter with his scope, possibly for the first time. Yahoo! Many thanks to everyone on team 3 and extra helpers in the field Jim Ketchum and Pete Jafferis, the "Dobsonian Gang". David and Marcia Young came out and installed a new door knob and lock on the south door of the dome. Then there was a mention of fried chicken, possibly at Lucille's in Louisburg, and then they skedaddled. We shut down about 10:00 due to the lightning that kept getting closer and closer. Other than that, though, we had a fun night and it was good to see everyone at Powell. Rick Henderson
As long as we're reporting.... We had a private group at Powell Friday night for 21 guests. Sylas Shulista opened up the 30" and had Jupiter well before sundown. He's getting pretty good with the 30". Jackie did her Mars program. We set Tumbleweed up near the solar pier outside the fence and showed people Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Alberio through it. I used the adapter Roger made because I had trouble with the home made stuff that came with the scope. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

DUST STORM SWALLOWS MARS: A martian dust storm that started in late May, silencing NASA's Opportunity rover, has now wrapped itself around the entirety of Mars, transforming the appearance of the Red Planet. "Mars has essentially vanished beneath the dust," says longtime Mars photographer Damian Peach of the UK. He created this animation showing how much has changed: "The animation shifts back and forth between a reference image of the Tharsis region taken by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft and my own image taken on June 28th," he explains. "The volcanic peaks of Tharsis remain clear, and also a dark spot in Valles Marineris, but little else matches known albedo markings, especially the dark/light streaks." In Rome, Italy, amateur astronomer Raffaello Lena has also been monitoring Mars. In this image he compares a picture he took in June 2016 with one taken just yesterday: "Although the same side of Mars was facing us in both images, the planet looks totally different," he says. "Dust is hiding all of the usual surface markings." Even naked-eye observers can see the effects of the storm. Mars is shining brightly the constellation Capricornus, easy to see at midnight. The planet's usual sharp burnt-orange color has been replaced by a wan salmon hue characteristic of dust. [sky map <http://spaceweather.com/images2018/02jul18/skymap.png?PHPSESSID=ndq349tahl4 d8fc31a4fkgf485> ] Mars is approaching Earth for a 15-year close encounter in late July. Astronomers have had this month marked on their calendars for years, expecting unusually clear views of the Red Planet. Martian dust may have other ideas. Stay tuned for updates <https://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/status_opportunityAll.html#sols-5112> . http://spaceweather.com/
Holy cow - this is grim news. If the dust storm remains thru August or so, maybe our consolation is that the very next opposition (Oct 2020) Mars will still appear pretty big (22 arc sec) , AND it will be much higher in the sky. Fifty-six degrees above horizon from KC... instead of the low 25 degrees we have now. Dave Hudgins
Well, Mars is so small that the difference between this opposition and the next one is too small to be discerned without a filar micrometer. BUT, the higher sky angle will make up for the difference in size in a big way. Visually, Mars has always been a disappointment to me anyway. Ron Abbott
I happened to be up in the wee hours of this morning and was able to see Mars and indeed, its color is not the usual reddish burnt orange but definitely a muted dusty (for sure!) color. Hope Opportunity can survive this one.... Elizabeth Brown
I observed it here at home Monday morning around 0100 with the 16". It appeared the same as the post from Mt. Lemmon, just a bit smaller. I thought I could still see a polar ice cap and some dark features, but nothing clear. The seeing at Mt. Lemmon while using the 24" was perfect, but the seeing the night I observed it with the 61" wasn't very good. Since we didn't have the adapter to do lens projection to increase magnification, the image was too bright and and too small to see any details using the SBIG camera.
Looking ahead to October and my next time at Mt. Lemmon/Bigelow, Mars will still be observable and it will be interesting to see it then...and prepared to do lens projection imaging. Nothing against any one here, but I wish I was still in Tucson.....RH 12%!
On another note, I had an opportunity to see Adam Block's new astro-imaging rig. It is a special observatory trailer that lowers on hydraulics to be stable with a Takahashi refractor on a Paramount pier(?).

Subject: [ASKC] Re: Spaceweather: Mars has essentially vanished beneath the dust
I happened to be up in the wee hours of this morning and was able to see Mars and indeed, its color is not the usual reddish burnt orange but definitely a muted dusty (for sure!) color. Hope Opportunity can survive this one....

… or increases in magnitude 16-fold. What’s cooler than a dusty red planet? An exploding green comet, of course. Naked eye? A long way to go if it’s at mag. 9. It’s near Camelopardalis but moving rapidly. It will make a good telescopic target for the next few months. Mike APPROACHING GREEN COMET EXPLODES A comet that could become visible to the naked eye in August has just exploded in brightness. Amateur astronomer Michael Jäger of Austria reports that Comet PANSTARRS (C/2017 S3) brightened 16-fold during the late hours of July 2nd, abruptly increasing in magnitude from +12 to +9. He took this picture of the comet's expanding green atmosphere shortly after the outburst: "The gas cloud around the comet's nucleus is about 4 arc minutes wide," says Jäger. That means the comet's atmosphere is 260,000 km in diameter, almost twice as wide as the planet Jupiter. These dimensions make it a relatively easy target for backyard telescopes. Comet PanSTARRS is falling toward the sun from the Oort cloud, a vast reservoir of fresh comets in the distant outer solar system. It has never visited the inner planets before, and, as a result, no one can say what will happen when its fragile ices are exposed to solar heat as it approaches the sun in August. Previous estimates of the comet's brightness max out at magnitude +4--that is, barely visible to the unaided eye from dark-sky sites. Additional outbursts could boost its visibility even more. The comet was discovered on Sept. 23, 2017, by the PanSTARRS telescope on the summit of the Haleakalā volcano in Maui. PanSTARRS's primary mission is to detect near-Earth asteroids that threaten our planet. In the process,it sweeps up variable stars, supernovas, and comets like this one. With almost a year of data in hand, astronomers have been able to nail down the comet's orbit. Click on the image to launch an interactive 3D visualization from JPL: Comet PanSTARRS is approaching the sun on a hyperbolic orbit--a narrow open-ended path that will ultimately fling it back to the outer solar system. At perihelion (closest approach to the sun) on August 15-16, the comet will be inside the orbit of Mercury, blasted by solar radiation at point-blank range. What will happen then? http://spaceweather.com/
Happy aphelion day!
By chance does anyone have a model or replica of Mercury's Redstone/Atlas and Gemini's Titan II rockets?

One small correction to David's report..
Mitch, even though he and his family moved to the Denver area a few years ago, is STILL a dues paying ASKC member!
We both had a great night at Powell and Mitch saw several members that he was able to catch up with.
Wall to wall clear skies, lots of members, lots of visitors and cool temperatures!

I plan on being at the DSS on Tuesday and can help with the mowing or whatever else needs attention. What time are you going to be there.

Just came back from the DSS.....
We spread chigger/tick granules over the observing field. We covered the central area, about 40 feet north of the north line of power posts, and about 30 feet south of the south line of power posts. I will get more granules and hit it again a few weeks before the HOASP.
Things.....
(1) not sure if was the farmer, or someone from the ASKC, but when padlocking the entrance gate, PLEASE put the padlock on the BOTTOM link of each chain. This makes MUCH easier access to the tumblers to unlock it next time.
(2) On the field we found, a 9v battery, a 12-inch bungee cord, a plastic solo clear cup, and several pieces of wax paper that look like they came from the back side of hook-n-loop (Velcro) strips. PLEASE pick up your trash!!!
(3) DO NOT LEAVE PAPER PRODUCTS sitting out inside the building! This is just nesting material for the mice. There was a half roll of paper towels on the counter that had several large junks eat! en out of it. I threw the whole roll away. BEFORE leaving, always put paper towels back into the fridge or a plastic container.
(4) the grass has been baled and there are now 31 bales on the west side of the driveway. We will be mowing the observing field July 10. My next week is already full.
and lastly.......
THANK YOU to RICK & STEVE for rebuilding the cover (roof) on the electrical panel just to the west of the front door to the building! It looks great!!!!!

My next Duty Week is looming (14-20 July), and http://askc.org/events/calendar shows a private member night on Sunday the 15th and "M (Private)" on Friday the 20th. Clicking on either of these takes me to https://nightsky.jpl.nasa.gov/event-list.cfm. Using the Advanced Search to specify those dates and changing location to Louisburg, KS yields a list of various completely unrelated events scattered all over the country. Adding "Kansas" to the "Club name contains" field pulls up nothing for the 15th and only an event at Lake Afton down by Wichita on the 20th. So, how do I find out what these events really are?

I cannot get any combination of ASKC/member, upper or lower case, to work for the username/password.
Yes, I reserved Sunday the 15th for myself so no staffing is necessary.
If a non-member private group has reserved Powell, David will contact the duty pair.

There is some confusion about the NSN calendar. The calendar accessed through the ASKC.ORG web site is intended for use by the public.. To see all of the details entered for a night you need to log directly into the Night Sky Network. Once you log in as a registered ASKC member you will be able to see the details. You will note a couple of Fridays have been blocked out for possible Mars nights. These are only a possibility but I was asked to keep them available. Keyholding members often reserve Powell for their own use and the duty pair is not needed. That information is noted on the calendar. If a reservation is made by a non-member for a group or a non-keyholding member that needs the duty pair, I notify the duty pair. I don't count on them noticing they have a night, I give them maximum warning. That's in a perfect world. It never hurts to check with me when your duty week approaches to make sure I haven't had a brain cramp. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...

For anyone who wants to see or capture the ISS transiting the face of the Sun one is going to be visible from Powell Observatory on July 31 about 6:13 PM. This will be a good opportunity to improve your eclipse photography skills. Only 1.37 seconds of total transit time. Gary Martin.
That practically guarantees a cloudy day at Powell or a dust storm on the sun for July 31. On Sat, Jul 14, 2018 at 7:53 AM, birdtunabear@...

Looking for some interesting photo opportunities? Check out today's www.spaceweather.com http://www.spaceweather.com for a pix of Mars casting a glitter path on a lake in Canada. It's that bright now. Also, in case you missed it, yesterday's KC Star has an article about Mars approach to Earth that highlights the Powell Observatory as being open later on the 21st, 28th and Aug 4th, so I'm sure our teams will need extra help those nights to handle possible extra crowds. Thanks! Elizabeth
Gary, the problem though is that you are using today's satellite elements, and the pass you are referring to is 17 days away. By the time July 31st gets here, the orbit will have shifted some and the ISS may miss the solar disc completely. The best thing to do is check the orbit a day or two before the event to keep it somewhat accurate. There is an Astronomical League program that deals with Earth orbiting satellites, and seeing the effect of aged elements is one of the projects you have to complete. In a nutshell, you go to a program that gives satellite predictions, something like Heavens-Above. Pick a bright satellite (like the ISS) and go 2 or 3 or 4 weeks into the future and print out a map of the satellite pass across the sky. ....now wait for the 2 or 3 or 4 weeks to pass.... Watch the actual pass and plot its path across the sky. You'll notice a difference in what was predicted from weeks ago to what it actually is at that time. Some satellites are vary just a little. Some satellites are way off. When i completed the program, i picked a booster rocket, and went 3 weeks into the future. Of course, that night 3 weeks later was clouded over, so i wasted 3 weeks of time and had to start over. So a helpful hint to anyone wanting to complete this League observing program: select several satellites over a several night time span. This way, in case your first night's choice is clouded out, you have the next night, or the following night to observe. ...just something to think about.

I usually follow https://transit-finder.com and plan out lunar or solar passes. They seem to be pretty accurate. This was a lunar transit I captured in May - https://i.imgur.com/iQEYsa4.gifv It is pretty low quality since it's with a 200mm lens on my DSLR.

A followup on the "Tumbleweed" scope. A closer examination reveals that the primary is just slightly under 10". The effective aperture is reduced by a piece of cardboard tube that was split so it would go inside the main 10" piece of "sonotube". Without taking the thing apart I estimate that reduces the effective aperture to about 9.5". The distance from the edge of the tube to the center of the square secondary is 36 inches. From the middle of the secondary out to the end of eyepiece tube is 8". WAG says focal length is between 4.5 and 5. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@...
You can look up to 30 days ahead on https://transit-finder.com Then I check every week to make sure everything is still on track (it has been every single time). Then a couple days ahead I scout out locations using https://app.photoephemeris.com/ (allows to see the angle and location of moon at exact time, and you can plan the foreground if you want) On Sat, Jul 14, 2018 at 12:35 PM SCOTT KRANZ s.kranz1@...

This is my new thing. But Scott is right, you have to be aware of the boosts [yep, I finished that earth observong satellite AL program , my first, a while back]. Since Firoz mentioned that link I have been following it and comparing it with Heavens Above almost weekly and they are pretty much up to date the same. [CalSky can also be used and you can set up an emailed advanced notice for one location. Firoz's link lets you look for future ones within a specified driving range.] T hey have been consistently predicted with the actual except on the day of the boost. I think a week to 10 days would be good. But you would want to verify the day of, especially if you are making any special plans to get to a site on the line. I was ready to go grab one at 4 am on July 4 from a cemetary in Shawnee on the line that sort of aligned with I-35. Then it was too hazy to even see the maria to even get in the car. The boosts are every 4 to 6 weeks or so, they are usually from a Soyuz mannable capsule or a Progress catgo capsule docked to the ISS. I get notice from the seesat email listserve I am on. But sometimes i hsve to search with the old Google. The last boost was 7/10 from the smaller Cygnus cargo capsule, experimental since it was the first one from a commercial capsule and probably a smaller boost. That may change the frequency. Note: lunar or solar passes are possible. I'll be using a 400 mm telephoto, if i get the chance. Good Hunting. Denise On Sat, Jul 14, 2018, 12:35 SCOTT KRANZ s.kranz1@...

Since they are constantly doing orbital corrections on the ISS, it may be that they stick pretty close to a set of elements and they may not drift off too far from them. When i did the observations on a couple booster rockets and inactive payloads, the "real" orbits versus the predicted orbits from 4 weeks previous, were as far as 20 degrees off and up to 15 minutes later than predicted. ...just saying, that with satellites and the expanding, and contracting, of Earth's atmosphere, you usually can't go too far into the future and look at predictions.

I've seen this once before on the Moon visually, but have never seen a solar transit. Not to hi-jack the thread, but in regards to other amazing satellites..... who here has seen Vanguard 1 (the oldest man-made object in space)? I've seen it 3 or 4 times already. It only reaches magnitude 10 or 11, so it needs to be seen in a telescope. And with its low-altitude orbit, it crosses the field of view pretty fast. I get satellite orbital elements for the same day, look into the evening hours and plot where it will cross. I then get my scope to a spot in the path 10 minutes early and wait for it. Pretty cool to see an ancient satellite in the eyepiece. Also cool is to watch geo-synch satellites in the telescope, but that's a whole other story..... -Scott > On July 14, 2018 at 8:03 PM "mdmyer@...

Mike, Wow - what a striking photo! Is this a single exposure? Tech info - exposure, camera, lens etc? Very good! Dave Hudgins
Yes, geo-synch satellites are pretty cool. The most i've had in a single field of view is 6. It almost makes you dizzy watching them. Congrats on the globular program! Send me a copy of your logs when you get a chance and I'll get a certification request sent in to the League. I enjoyed that program so much that i ended up observing every visual globular visible from 38 degrees north latitude. And I've been working on observing extra-galactic globulars now too. I've logged 76 in M31 alone. Dark Skies to You! -Scott > On July 14, 2018 at 9:03 PM "mdmyer@... [ASKC]" <ASKC@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > > > > That does sound interesting.

Greetings of the day. Team 5 hosted 60 guests last night. A portion of the crowd came from two groups of mostly school-age folks, quite well-behaved. Weather condition ranged from sprinkles upon our arrival at 1830 to muggy to partly cloudy when we departed at 2300. I think Jupiter and Saturn started to peek through the cloud breaks around 2300. Lots of dew, too. Jeff noted that by seven-ish we had a dozen folks gathering in the north parking lot. After a bit of hemming and hawing about the not-so-favorable conditions, we went to work. Around 1930, the Sun blazed forth from beneath the cloud edge. Game on. We pointed the Itty Bitty Telescope at the Sun prior to the program starting, allowing the early visitors to get a look at the Sun at 1.2 GHz. As the evening progressed, the sky cleared in the northwest quadrant, allowing observation of Venus, Mercury, and an awesome crescent Moon with Earthshine. Somewhat disappointing that the clouds never quite parted in the south and southeast. It would have been neat to see all five naked eye planets in one night. [try again tonight if it's clear] Many thanks to my teammates Doug, Terry, Denise, Jeff, Don, and Cheryl (Team 5 Emeritus). Cheryl pitched in like the experienced hand she is. At least three members set up telescopes on the field and showed our visitors the sights. Thank you, friendly voices in the dark, whoever you might be. David installed the AED cabinet and signage before we started, too. We got in a little radio meteor observing after two programs. Many strong reflections during the evening. Not a late night but enough guests and time at the eyepiece to make it worth our trek. Thanks again for everyone who pitched in to help. Mike Stewart Representing Team 5
Visitors last night, July 14, got a little bit of everything the interaction between light and Earth's atmosphere has to offer. Terry Conner [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Yes, ISS orbit is adjusted periodically but the transit-finder,com site is pretty accurate. I have attempted one photo shoot on a very fast transit and got the ISS dead center in the Sun. (Just posted it in the photo section). Either luck or some skill or combination of the two. Just keep checking to see if the event location and time changes (usually the morning of the transit), set up scope to start tracking in advance, and with clock set to WWV start taking pictures a couple of seconds just before. I Don't get too many opportunities to try and capture it as it seems I always have a job at the same time a good close transit happens (or it's cloudy, or there is no easy park, parking lot, or area to set up). The ISS apparent size varies quite a bit so the larger ones are better for detail of the ISS. I hope there will be Sun Spots to focus on as this makes the photos much better. I just though it would be worth mentioning since it appears it may happen at a very familiar location. It's a good opportunity for us to learn from each other as the same skills are used for eclipse photography. Sorry it took this long to respond back to this thread. Gary Martin
ok, i got asked a question last night from a friend that i was showing meteorites to, and it kind of threw me. What is your response to this? A couple of the meteorites that i own are starting to show rust. He asked me "if they've only been out of the ground for a few years, and they are starting to rust, how did they survive for thousands of years, and not all rust away to dust?" The only thing i had for an answer is that many meteorites are found in arid locations and the environment doesn't promote rusting. Others have been underground, and although they have been exposed to moisture, there is no air to interact with, so the rusting sort of stalls out. This was just all off the top of my head, but Is any of it accurate? I was just like "ummm, ya, good question!". How have they survived for thousands of years, and now, in a sealed bag, they are starting to rust over just a couple years time? hmmmmmmmm? Dark Skies to You! -Scott Kranz
Handling them without gloves will cause rust since there is a lot of moisture in our hands that gets transferred as well as salt, which will draw in surrounding moisture more quickly. Changes in temperature and condensation can cause it if they aren't being stored properly. These are probably the main reasons. Even if they are in the ground for a long time in a desert, oxidatation will still occur and a layer of patina will form.

I don't need a whole lot of people there. I can run the scope myself and there may be five people there at most
If Syla only wants access to the Ruisinger Telescope I am okay with handling this on my own to operate the scope or assist Syla If he wants to do it.

Cindy, there is an Adobe acrobat reader app for the iphone. There are several support apps on the Android which incorporate pdf reading on that platform. The Google drive reader incorporates viewers for all photo media and pdf. The doc or docx viewing is usually dependent on whether you want a document editor package which can open and view or edit Word documents. Unless you buy microsoft word, you are probably stuck with an open source app such as open office to view them. Comparing to Android again some of the phones have office support apps. Samsung has Hancom office which you can't remove. After you have the package, you face the decision of making viewing default for the document with one of the apps. you may need to find out how to override settings you already have. I added the android references in case examples show up and also if someone you know there knows android, they might help you on the iphone. In the cases of PDF and word doc files, note that on either phone, they are not transient viewable media. As in not jpg or pdf type items. They will be downloaded to a download area and stay there till you clean them out. Or file them somewhere. If you are tight on space on your iphone that may add a task you have to fuss with on your phone, to free up the space. Hope this helps. On 7/17/2018 4:20 PM, CindyLChesleyYahoo cindylchesley@...

I'm taking some school supplies to Honduras when I go on a scuba diving trip. One of the things they asked for was laminated wall charts and maps. U S Toy had several of the type of charts they need but they were just plain heavy paper. Surprise, they have a laminating machine. They normally charge $1 per square foot but Tuesday was bogo day. I got 5 large wall posters laminated for $2.73. If you have any star charts that need laminating this might be a good place to get that done. Those paper charts can get soggy late at night.

But now when will the IAU change the classification and start call the new smaller moons “dwarf moons”.
The term I heard that I like is mini-moons.

Rock, pebble, stone or boulder...I gave up keeping track years ago. I am waiting for some one to ask, "what will that do to our gravity?" Wait for it, it will happen.

Would anybody be willing to fill in at Powell for Alex and I on August 11? Alex's highschool reunion got rescheduled and now conflicts with our Powell night. We need at least one sub for him, but would prefer two subs so I can go as well. We would be able to trade for any night except 7/28 and 10/6. We are also offering a dozen cookies (or other dessert of your choice) to whoever can help us out. Thank you! Casey Carlile and Alex Weber-Kamin

Now mag. 7. PanSTARRS Comet, Rocked by Outburst, Goes Green By: <https://www.skyandtelescope.com/author/robert-king-2/> Bob King | July 17, 2018 Comet PanSTARRS (C/2017 S3) has erupted again! Now bright enough to see in binoculars, it might become a naked-eye object if it survives until perihelion. You gotta love comets. OK, except when they fizzle. But outside of that, they can be tremendous fun to watch. That's so true of <http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/2017S3/2017S3.html> Comet PanSTARRS (C/2017 S3), which is now undergoing a second outburst just two weeks after its first. This latest explosion has pumped enough life into the vagabond to see it in a pair of binoculars. No kidding. I spotted with ease in my 10×50s on July 16.20 UT. Nothing fancy, just a small blob, but at magnitude ~8.2 it was obvious. With a Frankensteinian jolt, C/2017 S3 first came to life on or about June 30th, sitting straight up at magnitude 9.5 after a three magnitude outburst. The explosion released a significant amount of C2 or diatomic carbon gas, which gives comet comas their characteristic aqua-green hue. <https://agenaastro.com/guide-to-light-pollution-filters.html#comets> Swan Band filters capitalize on this fact by transmitting only a few narrow slivers of light, including C2emissions, to provide clearer and contrastier views of "gassy" comets. Days later, C/2017 S3's core began to fade as the explosion played itself out. But just when we suspected the comet had hit the self-destruct button — as some predicted it would and still might — it burst back to life on or about July 14th, bigger and brighter than before. Austrian comet observer and astrophotographer <https://cometpieces-at.webnode.at/> Michael Jäger may have been first to record the new blast. His photo, taken July 1.04 UT, shows a gorgeous green coma 4′ in diameter trailed by a narrow, 25′-long ion tail to the northwest. In my 15-inch (37-cm) telescope on July 16th and 17th, the blue-green coma color was obvious at 64× magnification. Without the Swan filter I estimated the coma diameter at 3′ with a DC (degree of condensation) of 6, i.e., strongly condensed. With the filter in place the comet's head expanded to 4′. No tail was seen despite dark <http://www.bigskyastroclub.org/lp_bortle.html> Bortle Class 3 skies. C/2017 S3 <http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/2017S3/2017S3.html> could brighten to magnitude 3 or 4 as it beelines from Camelopardalis into Gemini now through about August 8th, when morning twilight gets in the way. Perihelion occurs on August 15th with the comet only 0.2 a.u. from the Sun. Closest approach to Earth happens a week earlier on August 7th at 0.76 a.u. Since the comet is fresh from the Oort Cloud, it's a bit of an unknown. It may explode again and cash in its chips before perihelion or power through. We'll know very soon. (Update July 20: C/2017 S3 continues to brighten, currently at magnitude 7.) Because of its northerly declination (currently +55°N), C/2017 S3 is visible all night long for the northern third of the U.S. and Europe. You can look for it low in the northern sky at nightfall; by the start of dawn, it's ~30° high in the northeast. For the southern third of the U.S., it's at or below the northern horizon at nightfall and best seen just before dawn about 30° up in the northeastern sky. This green phantom is slipping south and will slowly lose altitude over the next few weeks. Take a look soon because, well, it's a comet, and you just never know. Another fuzzball, 21P/Giacobini-Zinner <http://cometography.com/pcomets/021p.html> , is fattening up nicely. Now at magnitude ~10, I caught it crawling past Delta (δ) Cephei on the night of July 15–16. It was still small with a 2′ coma and short 4′ tail pointing southwest, but the coma was bright and dense with a false nucleus — not only pretty but a good omen for continued brightening. According to predictions, 21P/G-Z will peak around magnitude 7 in August and September. For the moment, an 8-inch should give a good view, but it won't be long before small scopes scoop it up. Easy comets like these make it a little easier to tolerate the pesky mosquitoes that descend this time of year. To find our targets, use <https://www.skyandtelescope.com/wp-content/uploads/21P-3-day-final-ST.jpg> this chart for 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. It plots stars to magnitude 9.5 with positions marked at 0h UT every three days. For Comet PanSTARRS (C/2017 S3) use the one above or try this <https://www.skyandtelescope.com/wp-content/uploads/S3-every-3-days-July-2018.jpg> more detailed map. You can also visit <https://theskylive.com/comets> The Sky Live where current comets' daily positions are plotted on a photographic sky.
As you know oxygen reacts with iron to make iron oxide (rust) which is catalyzed by water. You mentioned arid locations as slowing oxidation, also true. There is another variable. Provided that oxygen is present, if ground water is acidic rusting is rapid, if it is basic rusting is much slower. Also, there may be other substances in the soil that are preferentially oxidized compared to iron, these would act as antioxidants which would slow the rusting. For example, sulfides, which occur in minerals such as pyrite or fools gold (actually a polysulfide), chalcopyrite, and others are more easily oxidized than iron and might work in this fashion.
Hi Folks, I am looking for neutral density plastic sheet or film to reduce brightness of my laptop screen while imaging. Yes, I have tried my red filter. But I need to retain color...so looking for a 50% - 75% ND filter. Ideas??? Dave Hudgins
Dave, Check out B & H Photo in New York. Search for "nd gels" and you will find a large assortment of sizes and neutral density strengths. They are a first class source for anything like this.

I'm not sure because I wasn't looking for such things when I
stopped in a couple years ago, but XS Lighting, Sound and
Visualization at
1632 Broadway then had a wide selection of colored plastic
transparent sheets, probably used for filtering projected light
needed in decorative projects or for photographic purposes...

Check out LightsOn in Merriam on Merriam Dr.. They're a local pro level rental house for lighting and grip supplies. They usually have smaller precut sheets of ND and many other colours, and are reasonable in cost. If you're wanting a 50% reduction I'd suggest a .60 ND sheet which is two stops fstop-wise. Good luck! Steve Wilson
I plan to be at Powell at 6:00 for AED training followed by evergreen trimming and Tumbleweed set up.
David, (et. al) If you buy a neutral density sheet the size of laptop screen, you might be surprised by the cost. A 5x7 ND8 film for cameras start at $100 and go to $300 as the quality of manufacturing increases. Another option is to use a polarizing filter with some level of darkness added for dim room viewing. Most office supply stores may have those or you can search for 3M privacy screens and use that. In some of my work for Fermi and for work in cyber security, I used the 3M products and thought they protected the views and your dark adaptation. Just my two cents, worth as mush too... S.

Dave, Not sure if you are looking for a software solution, put you can try out f.lux. It's free to use for personal use. Works well when I'm imaging. I've used on Windows 10, not sure about non-Windows though. https://justgetflux.com/ https://justgetflux.com/ -Doug Wagers
Thanks for a lot of insight. It helps!

There were reportedly between 130 and 140 people at Powell last night. The sky was very clear until about 11 pm with four planets in view all at once including Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. Mars was big and bright, but still peach-colored with not many features due to the dust storm. The program on Infrared Astronomy was given several times. The Tumbleweed telescope once owned by John Dobson was fun to look through as were possibly as many as 18 other telescopes set up in the field. Training on the AED was given earlier in the evening by David Young to a few of the team members. Joe Alburty

Check out these images, they're stunning! https://petapixel.com/2018/07/24/10-shortlisted-photos-of-astronomy-photographer-of-the-year-2018/ https://petapixel.com/2018/07/24/10-shortlisted-photos-of-astronomy-photographer-of-the-year-2018/
Hi all, Our guest speaker at this Saturday's GM asked me about video connections to the UMKC projector which I couldn't answer. He has a MacBook Pro which only has a Thunderbolt 3/USB-C video port. I'm not a Mac user and am not sure what to tell him. I'm pretty sure that the auditorium system at UMKC only has VGA and HDMI video inputs. Any suggestions? Thanks. Rick Henderson
Rick, USB-C to HDMI adapter. Available at MicroCenter or borrow mine.

I have all those, Rick. I will bring them, too. I had to buy some for the speakers at the Science Caf. I hope I have the correct one!! Is that a regular USB connector? I have a USB to HDMI, and two other quirky adapters that the guy at Micro Center said I should have. ???

Rick, I'm giving the ASTRO 101 talk and my laptop uses the same USB-C port. Feel free to borrow my hub. -Doug Wagers
Awesome! Thanks, Doug. I went and bought one, but might take it back. I would like to see yours… From: ASKC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASKC@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2018 2:22 AM To: ASKC@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [ASKC] Guest Speaker Mac Question Rick, I'm giving the ASTRO 101 talk and my laptop uses the same USB-C port.

Will Warko be open sat to look at Mars
If it's clear enough we will open Warko after the GM. Doesn't look promising at the moment. Sent via Gmail from David Young youngmdavid@... On Fri, Jul 27, 2018 at 6:55 PM, JOHN BREWER johnbrewer57@... [ASKC] < ASKC@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > Will Warko be open sat to look at Mars > > >
Will be open tonight if clear. Everyone in room 104 watching When Mars Invaded Earth DVD and having popcorn.

Happy Connecting. Sent from my Sprint Phone.

This is what I get when I got to the ASKC's Warko page "Error displaying the error page."
Typically I post on the Warko's FaceBook page, but was focused on other things yesterday.
However, over a 100 visitors found their way to the observatory last night. Nearly all got to see at least 3 planets and the moon intermittently.

Must have been a server problem somewhere. I just checked the Powell and Warko pages on the ASKC.org site and they both loaded fine.
Stoooopid computers anywho...

Apologies in advance. My "smart" phone autocorrect is not my friend.

Is anybody from the Lee summit area going to the meeting tonight? I have volunteered to make some refreshments for tonight’s meeting but I am unable to attend and need to drop the cookies off to someone who’s going to the meeting. Sent from my iPhone Jim Carothers
The skies parted about 8:15 pm or so. Our first visitors arrived at about 10 minutes until 8. We were swamped until anout 9:30 pm when they continued to dribble in until about 10:30 pm. We had 118 guests. Keith Green gave the talk 5 times. Thanks to the team members present: Randy and Iris Thompson, Keith Green, Bill Boyle, David Preston and son Zack, and Paul Macek Also thanks to members Sylas ShulistaSylas and Pete Jaffries. In addition to a fairly long, but well-managed line for the 30", Pete had a steady stream of visitors to his scope. Also thanks to Sylas' great help in the dome with Paul Macek and Randy Thompson. Bill Boyle and Zack provided excellent views for our visitors from the two telescopes in the Louisburg Community Telescope facility. David Preston did his usual fine job by assisting me at the gate. Our visitors got to see Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and the Moon. We had several folks seeing the planets for the very first time, with the normal "ays". It was an excellent and fun night at Powell.
