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 to gauge the interest in multiple events.

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.        --- On Wed, 9/24/08, Brandon Wood <bwood44@gmail. com> wrote: From: Brandon Wood <bwood44@gmail. com> Subject: [GTAstronomyClub] Feedback Needed for Next GTAC Event To: "gtastronomyclub" <GTAstronomyClub@ yahoogroups. com> Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2008, 8:04 PM 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
