EAA493 Mailing List: Upcoming Star Party

[Gerald Hatch (gf_hatch]

Hi All,

This past Friday, we had a star party put on by the San Angelo Astronomy Club. Actually, it is more of a planet/nebula viewing party. They have relocated their facility to my ranch after the property that they were on was sold. Friday we had 12 visitors including some EAA members. Given the interest that was shown, we are planning another star party on May 17... Weather permitting.  I along with the astronomy club would like to invite the EAA chapter to this event. We'll meet at my house and then drive down in a few vehicles to the viewing site. There will be a number of telescopes available and no shortage of sky knowledge that can be gained from the members of the astronomy club. I think you all will find it quite interesting. As we get closer to the 17th, I will post updates as to the time and weather forecasts for viewing conditions.

See you there,

Gerry
