The purpose of the rules change is to update the text of the previous rules for grammar and clarification of safety issues, to increase the use time for water skiers and to mitigate the impact of large, destructive wakes. The effect of the rules changes impact hours of use of the Lake, what can be used on the Lake and other policy changes. The main effect and change in this draft is the discontinuation of wakeboard and kneeboard devices on the Lake and the increase of use time for water skiing in the evening. The Boating and Lake Rules were discussed at the January, February, March and April monthly Board meetings and this draft was considered in February, March and April. The Board will take action on this published draft at the May 17, 2008 monthly Board meeting at the PML Lake Lodge. The meeting starts at 9 a.m. and all members are welcome to attend.

It’s similar to spinning a basketball at the end of your finger; the point where your finger contacts the basketball is almost stationary as the rest of the ball ro- tates around it. The most common Star Trail photographs are taken pointed at the North Celestial Pole because the star movement is so dramatic. With typical camera lens focal lengths (think amount of zoom), you will begin to see star movement with about 30 seconds of exposure time. This movement is very slow, like the motion of the hour hand on an analog clock, but it is easily captured by the open shutter of a camera. Most of the astrophotographs that I’ve shared these past months used a telescope mount that tracked the movement of the sky to prevent star movement. You will need a camera capable of taking a long exposure. This requires setting the shooting mode to “manual” or “bulb” and using a cable release or some other form of timer to control how long the camera shut- ter is open. Simply mount your camera on a sturdy tripod, point it towards the North Star, and start with an exposure 2 to 5 min- utes long. I’ve found that taking many 5 to NEW!
