Description

- Saturday 12/tbd/09 - NWGAA Monthly Viewing Session - at Ron and Bev's


NEW!! Go to NWGAA network site!

This group's aim is to contact amateur astronomers of any age in Northwest Georgia and surrounding areas to grow an informal but organized amateur astronomy group.

This group serves Cartersville, Rome, Adairsville, Rockmart, Cedartown, Calhoun, Dalton, Summerville and surrounding areas but members are welcome from anywhere. We have nice dark skies right here so driving hours to get to one of the other observing groups just seems a little unnecessary.

We are an informal group where there are no dues and anyone with an interest in any aspect of astronomy is welcome and 'belongs'. You don't have to live in this area to join and you certainly don't have to own a telescope either. We have a nice dark sky viewing site near Calhoun and Rome and are open to trying new ones in our area. Group viewing sessions are scheduled every month on the new moon Saturday. Meetings are informal and occur before sunset on the day of the group viewing sessions. We can do presentations for local schools, scout groups, etc as member availability allows.

The group has grown nicely but there is always more we can do so please post your ideas, wishes and questions and let's see where we can go from here.

Re: Good ISS Viewing Tonight
Tomorrow is yet another chance. How to find the degrees of viewing while on the ramp at work is another problem. Happy Thanksgiving! Tracking Link ATL ISS

Good ISS Viewing Tonight
From my location, I had a good view of the ISS tonight at 6:21. Not only was it bright, but there was a trailing object as well. I assume that was the space
