| boy am I going to have to load up caffine that day, got almost a 11 hour day work day that will start at 0545 ending with a nasty PT session in the Utah heat at 1600. Then add up getting up early for this one, might go to a pull off in weber cayon or see if I can get up top of trappers loop before the work day.... |

| UT is Universal Time, which is counted from the Meridian, or Greenwich time. I believe the eclipse starts about 1am, reaches totality at around 3:30 am, and is finished by 5am, which means the horizon will start seeing some light as the eclipse finishes. I might need to double check that though. |

| So Marc, that will make it kinda hard for me to get back to work in time, if we head out to the West Desert... Maybe we can shoot for something on the Wasatch Front? Maybe like Eagle Mountain area, or West Mountain at the southern tip of Utah Lake (closer to me). We would be observing the western horizon, so the main light pollution would be on the opposite end of the sky. Should be good enough for the moon. |
