Could be an interesting "alignment" of planets.



APRIL 5 -- WEDNESDAY

* Faint Mars appears just 1 degree to the right of Jupiter low in
the west at dusk -- less than a finger's breadth at arm's length.
Saturn shines to their upper left. Far below them, scan with
binoculars shortly after sunset for the hairline crescent Moon.

APRIL 6 -- THURSDAY

* The crescent Moon shines just to the left or upper left of Saturn,
Jupiter, and Mars low in the west during twilight -- a beautiful
sight!

APRIL 7 -- FRIDAY

* Look west for the crescent Moon in twilight. Far to its lower
right are Saturn, bright Jupiter, and faint Mars. Less far to the
Moon's upper left is orange Aldebaran.

FS: It is like new with the Magellan I computer system.  It is an
F4.5, standard
Meade 12.5.  It does have a 2" focuser with a 1 1/4 adapter and a
mount for a
telrad on it.  I put it in the ASTROMART classifieds and have
received mostly
out of state inquires. The scope goes for $795 and the computer
is about $300.
I would like $850 for both.

NEW GLOBAL SURVEYOR IMAGES REVEAL EXOTIC MARTIAN LANDSCAPE

     Two new photo mosaics, created with images from NASA's Mars
Global Surveyor spacecraft now in orbit at Mars, may help
scientists understand what materials make up the exotic, multi-
layers of the South Pole.

     Scientists theorize that the thickness and the composition
of the layers in the south polar region could hold a record of
climate change in a way that is similar to how years of drought
and years of plentiful rain change the width of rings in a tree
trunk on Earth. Because the south polar terrain is so strange and
new to human eyes, no one as yet has an entirely adequate
explanation as to what is being seen.  The layers may be made up
of frozen carbon dioxide, water ice and fine dusts that have been
eroded over time.

     The mosaics were produced by imaging team scientists at the
U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, AZ and the California
Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA. The Global Surveyor images
are available at  http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/new or
http://www.msss.com.

     Mars Global Surveyor is managed by the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, DC.
JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in

Riverside Telescope Makers Conference
(RTMC)


   The 32nd  annual Riverside Telescope Makers Convention will be
held
May 26th  thru May 29th  (Memorial Day Weekend). It is held at
Camp
Oaks, a YMCA camp near Big Bear Lake, California. The conference
is a
combination of speakers, commercial vendors, a swap meet, and
all-night
star parties. There are often several scopes in the 30 to 40 inch
range
to look at during the day and look through at night.
   As indicated by its title, the emphasis is on Telescope
Making.
Talented telescope builders bring their latest efforts to show to
attendees. About a half dozen of the best efforts are awarded
Merit
Awards. A special award is also given for the best scope built
with
found, surplus or otherwise inexpensive materials. Our own Kim
Hyatt bas
been one of the Judges and also a winner. Several other SLAS
members
have received awards.
   There are between 50 and 70 vendors offering new and used
telescopes,
new and used equipment, software, tee shirts, books, prints and
slides
and lots of other do-dads. Both Sky & Telescope and Astronomy
magazines
are there. Celestron, Meade, Lumicon, Televue, Pocono Optics and
Orion
are just a few of the other big names you will find.
   Saturday morning starts the Swap Meet which tapers off through
the
day but sometimes continues again the next day. Any one can sell
or buy
at the Swap Meet and lots of great bargains are available. Bring
lots of
cash!
   You can stay in the dorms, camp in your own tent or one of the
shelters (all sites are available First-Come, First-Serve) at
Camp Oaks,
or stay in town in a motel. You bring your own food or pay for
the meal
plan which includes 3 meals a day. Eating in the dinning hall is
a great
opportunity to shmooze with astronomers from every part of the
country
exchanging ideas about telescopes and clubs.
   Attendance varies from 800 to 2,300 (day passes are available
for
walk-ins) depending on the weather and the moon phase. Most years
it is
warm to hot in the daytime. You need sun screen, a hat and sun
glasses.
The 7,600 foot elevation can turn cold at night and about once in
a
while it snows. Bring some warm clothing and extra bedding. Be
prepared
for any type of weather.
   Saturday and Sunday nights have drawings for dozen of door
prizes
including some worth thousands of dollars. People must be present
to
win. Well worth staying for.
   In the past several years there have been 15 to 25 SLAS
members and
30 to 40 Northern Utahns. Registration Forms for RTMC will be
available
at the meetings. Discount prices are available if registering
before May
1st.
   We hope to see new SLAS faces at RTMC this year and hope you
will
enjoy attending this event. Enclosed is a registration form for
your
convenience. Any further questions can be directed to oursleves.

Hi:

I just wanted to call your attention to a page put up by Jeff
DeTray,
describing his experiences making his own eyepieces, using my
recent S & T
article as a guide:

http://www.astronomyboy.com/eyepieces/

Pass the url along to anyone who you feel would benefit from
Jeff's project.
He has several handy tips on making the housings that I hadn't
thought of,
and explores a design more complex than the garden-variety
symmetrical.
While at the site, be sure to check out Jeff's other efforts!

Thanks for your time

Spherical mirrors can be used instead of parabolic mirrors in Newtonian =
