It was nicely overcast Friday night here in Salinas. Last night the sky was clear after 10, and of course the Moon had moved and was right in the middle of the...
Hello All, It is I, Walt Heiges. I have created a new profile for this group as starguy_walt. It is meant to replace my old handle of PastSVASPresident. I...

... Welcome Welcome Walt! CONGATS on the SVAS election. Why not use "ppSVAS.at.yahoo"...that should pretty much cover it. ;) Glad to see you on TAC-SAC!...
I have a couple of days off this week, and would like to catch some photons. Also hav a couple of eyepieces on loan that I'd like to try under dark skies ...
I may be driving down to Vegas the weekend of the 14th. That's new moon weekend and if I go I'd like to fit some viewing in. Anybody have suggestions for...
Hi Matt, I observed with a Vegas club some years ago. The event was their Messier Marathon, and the actual location of the observing site is in Arizona, avut...
Hi Walt, Good to hear you will be getting back to observing. Why not join us some night at IHOP? The skies are a lot better than Blue Canyon. Clears, Shneor ...
Thanks Shneor. I was planning on taking my time travelling to Vegas and exploring either Death Valley or Mojave Nat'l parks, camping a night or two. Hopefully...

... And it was nice of you to compliment me on TAC for the idea (glad I thought of it)! And as I too said on TAC, It didn't occur to me to put the ones people ...
One suggestion would be the White Mountains (Grandview Campground). Shneor is probably a bit conservative saying Vegas has a "large" light dome -- to be more...
We stayed in Vegas as our stopping point on the way to Flagstaff summer before last. Skywise like staying in Tartarus on the way to the Elysian Fields....
There's a possibility I may be in Elk Grove and Stockton on Saturday, and if so, could observe in TAC-SAC country. Anyone planning on going? I think moon rise...
