I went out looking for a piece of missing astronomy equipment which I could not find and had to reorder. The last thing to do was to head to my observing sites and see if, by chance I had left it there in its case and could get luck. Nope. Never found it and r eplacement is ordered. It was a filter, a 2" DGM NBP filter so expensive lesson learned. I remember putting it into a new case and now for the life of me, I cannot find it. Sometimes hitting 60 going on 61 isn't fun.
Anyway, I used the time wisely and headed out to my observing sites I currently use and I explored some new ones. I don't want to make a 2 to 3 hour video so I'll break them up into segements so viewers and look at all or the ones that interest them.
This video covers my observing at the Lakeside 2 observing site and Eight Mile Spring Road Observing Site 2.
The next video shows my drive down State Route 196 through the Goshute Skull Valley Reservation. I stayed on the road through here since I am a strong believer in respecting the Goshute Tribe members right to their land. I believe we should never venture onto their land without their permission.
However as I drove I saw something I haven't seen for a while, Buffalo! SR 196 comes out near the entrance to Dugway and you can see that in the pictures. I continued down Erickson Pass Road heading down to the Corral there and then I wanted to do some explorering of some other possible sites and some I haven't seen in over 12 to 15 years!
his next video will show my adventure off of Erickson Pass Road. As you head to the Corral on Erickson Pass Road where I observe, there is an old animal pen. There were two possible observing areas to the east and I listened to Google Maps which led me astray! Instead of taking me down to Little Valley Rd East, it lead me to TC03004 which wa a horrible road! I bottomed out and luckily did not hurt the Ascent. Both sites turned out as a definetly no, but I wanted to explore up Little Valley so I headed on up. Join me on this fun journey!
For the rest and several new observing sites I found from here on out, please head over to Eadsy Astronomy LINK to take a look!
