Feedback Needed for Next GTAC Event   Message List

Re: [GTAstronomyClub] Feedback Needed for Next GTAC Event

We'd love to offer our property again for either or both of these events.  Also, Tom will volunteer to help with polar alignment on equatorial mounts.   Additionally, he'll talk to anyone who's interested about imaging, but is still not much more than beginner himself as far as imaging is concerned.

Tehachapi Astronomers. ..
 
I would like to hear your feedback on the next few GTAC events.  The calendar has the following:
 
Event:  Telescope Clinic
Date:   Saturday, October 18th
Location:  TBD
 
Event:  Lunar Night
Date:   Saturday, November 8th
Location:  TBD
 
I have heard from a number of members that are interested in getting assistance with their telescopes.  A Telescope Clinic would be a perfect opportunity to get help and advice setting up and using your telescope.  The Lunar Night is on an evening in which the moon is just over half full and high in the sky.  It would be good chance to explore the lunar terminator along with other bright objects in the sky.  Since neither of these events needs a particularly dark location, we can have them at someone's house or the Tehachapi High School. 
 
Please respond by indicating if you'd like to attend the Telescope Clinic, with telescope in tow, or the Lunar Night.  If the response isn't heavy, we could combine these two events.  If you can only attend one, please indicate which date is more advantageous for you.  Also, if you'd like to host one of these, please let us know that as well!
 
Thank you for your feedback,
 Brandon

Thank you Edie, that's very generous! You two are clearly diehards; I fear the impending weather might scare some people away. I would like to hear from others...

Rain or snow is all that would stop us.  But perhaps another location at lower elevation would be warmer for those not accustomed to staying up all night in...

I would love to attend the telescope clinic on Oct 18th.  I have a great "student scope" and have not been able to figure out the equatorial mount.  If we...
