Yet another source of light pollution and traffic on the road to Palomar (and for some, LBV). http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2006/01/04/news/inland/ ...
Here's the end of the article: "Scott Kardel, spokesman for Palomar Observatory, said he was pleased to hear that the La Jolla band was planning to install...
Yes, it is a good thing. But I think there will be a significant impact in overall light for us who aren't benefiting from the low pressure sodium emission...
That is disappointing. Palomar is a good location because it is relatively close and also because the campgrounds have good facilities. Also, I have found...
I haven't been lurking on this site for a while but thought I'd check out what you guys are doing these days only to find something that I'm quite familiar...
I asked a friend who is a land planner and here is what he told me: The EIR should have a section dedicated to Dark Sky. If it does not address Dark Sky and...
Fellow TAC-South folks, (Discount offered for TACos on top of the pickup discount.) I must sell my AP 900QMD mount, the 900GTO is on its way and I have to...
Sorry, forgot to include the asking price: $4100. Cheers, Paul __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL – Something to write home about. Just...
Hi, I moved to San Diego (Point Loma) in September and am loving it thus far. My observing has been limited to the few feet outside of my apartment door, but...

Hey Justin, Hello! Welcome. I'm sorry nobody chimed in to welcome you. Things have been very quiet here over the last several months. I hope that changes...
Folks, Sorry for that rude interruption. I have banned the offending member and removed their messages. It has been suggested that we put new members on...
... Thanks, Curt. I was off-line for a few days, couldn't take care of it. Curt's right, that doesn't happen too often, but when it does :( ... And on that...
Wow Paul. You have been busy. And with all the right things, too. Congrats on a beautifully built instrument (we have come to expect no less!). Post astro...
Way cool Paul! Are you planning to use a refractive corrector for coma? Kinda curious, I've been thinking about putting the old Newt back together with an eye...
... curious, ... eye ... Yep. I've got the Baader/Celestron MPCC to use. Others have reported very good results -- I'll post up my experiences with it here...
Hi all, I am attempting to do something a little unconventional. I generally ask SDAA to sponsor a star party at my kids school each year. However, I have a...
Ooops, that date should be Thursday, March 2nd. Sorry for the confusion. Looking forward to hearing from you. Curt ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Hi Curt, I should actually be in town on March 2nd... I'd be able to help out. I could bring a 6" dob, and if needed my AP900 with either a 10" Newt, or two...
Paul L. and I both have "exec reviews" that day. I too would be happy to help, but we are likely to be busy at work until 6:30 or so, and would not be able to...
What does one do that the other does not? Bob ... From: "LeFevre, Paul" <lefevre@...> To: <TAC_South@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006...
Hmmm, which Paul is in charge at this place? One says he'll be there with a truckload of telescopes and the other says he's not sure he can make it. Paul L.,...
The State Park System has bought the old San Pasqual School and wants to make it an observing site esp. if there is enough local interest. It is located about...
We're both in charge, actually :) Despite you changing the date to Thursday in your e-mail, I still had Friday in my head when I replied. Paul S. is right,...
... Nothing, really -- it's just I have them mounted on a side-by-side plate for now, so it's a two-for-one deal. Great for a star party, I can have two...
Bob, Very cool. Is there any way we can "officially" register interest with the State Park system for observing at the site? A letter or something? Thanks, ...
This seems like it could be a pretty nice spot. Of course that is the day before my next grant is due :-( Do they leave it open for observing after the party...
... That is the best way. Put a bunch of smart and energetic people together in the same place and let them all run their own show. Kind of the academic...
