Hi all, I wanted to let everyone know that I added a few things to the Yahoo! Group website: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/GTAstronomyClub/ On the Home...
Hello GT Astronomy Club Members. Tom Cohen here. We sent a message to you folks a couple of months ago, but never heard back from anyone. Anyway, now...
Tom & Edie, Sounds like you had a good week in Tonopah and Grandview! I'm very much looking forward to getting to Grandview next summer. Did you drive your...
... //cut// ... Well I'm not hopeful about Brite Lake. I drove around the area this afternoon. It has a good-sized parking lot with decent horizons. The ...
We used my house once, and I would be willing to have it here again. Corner of Water Canyon and Highline. Easy access, bathroom in house, electricity. I am...
There's a hill between our lot and the penitentiary which blocks the direct light. We still get a little sky glow, however.  With your motorhome and ours,...
It sounds like your lot would be an interesting place to host a star party. If you don't mind driving up for that weekend, I think it'd be excellent to try...
There are some steep hills on the road up. Only the last mile or so is unpaved, but that's the steepest part.  It's about 8 miles out of town.   ...
 Dear Brandon, Hawk, and Lauren:  Thank you for showing John and Kimie the many of celestial objects and answering for my abrupt questions. We enjoyed the...
8 miles from town--sounds very doable. Lets plan for Sep 20th. 7pm (sunset is 6:54) at your lot in Alpine Forest. I'll take care of some balloons/signs, but...
ok. We'll have a scope set up too. Either a 6" refractor or a 14" Celestron.  We'll write up some directions this weekend. I gotta tell you, though,...
Here are the directions to our lot in Alpine Forest. Unfortunately, I can't give distances between the turns. I'd be guessing at best.  If you'd like I...
Hi Neill, Any press about the local light pollution problem is greatly welcome. I'll call you this evening but there are others more experienced with the ...
The Greater Tehachapi Astronomy Club is having a public star party this Saturday, September 20th. Tom and Edith Cohen have graciously offered to host it on...
To follow-up my previous e-mail, the weather for Saturday looks great with highs in the 70's and sunshine. Please bring warm clothes as it'll likely be in the...
I want to send out a very sincere Thank You to Tom and Edie for hosting yesterday's star party! The weather wasn't optimal; in fact it was downright odd, with...
We really enjoyed meeting all of you folks. The weather will do what it will, but having the opportunity to "commune with our fellow amateur astronomers" was...
I'd like to encourage anyone interested in abating local light pollution to contact Neill. He's authoring a series of articles that will highlight the issue...
Tehachapi Astronomers... I would like to hear your feedback on the next few GTAC events. The calendar has the following: Event: Telescope Clinic Date:...
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...
For the article on Dark Skies, I need aerial/satellite night photographs for: § Immediate Tehachapi area § Lancaster-Palmdale to Bakersfield area § CCI...
The KRV Astronomy Club Star Party on September 27th will be held at the Fairview Helispot up the Kern River. The Fairview Helispot is on the old Fairview dump...
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...
Tehachapi Astronomers, For those interested in getting some help with their telescopes, I'd like to invite you over this evening to my house. The focus would...
Hi Everyone, I'm Richard Sparks and my wife, Christine, and I live in BVS. We've been in Tehachapi about 7 years and are excited to find GTAC. Always big fans...
Posted to KRVR.org’s DARK SKY page: National Geographic November 2008: Light Pollution: Our Vanishing Night -- Richard Cayia Rowe, www.KRVR.org website...
Dear Brandon, Â Â Â Â I have been in trouble for my health since April, and I just finished MRI and going to take CAT scan next. Things are going so slow...
