Greetings all, Special thanks to John Hoot for giving the August talk. This weekend looks like it should be very nice and we have lots of space left. Next...
Dear Astronomy Enthusiast, We are pleased to announce the launch of a free, new informational site - www.AstronomyRatings.com - for amateur astronomers of all ...
What a quiet list! Things have been hopping on TAC in the SF bay area. Lots of mailing list traffic, some interesting conversations, and the Observing Intents...
I am observing from the backyard. Urban stuff. And Solar of course this afternoon... before Bill (Weee!) Dean takes back what is rightfully his! :D CalStar?...
Debbie & Paul are not going to OZ, life has a way of getting in the way occasionally. My house re-build is going way over budget (know anything about that,...
Ouch. That sucks. Well not too badly. Cause while you are not in Oz, we get to visit and observe through the 25. So while you might be bummed, as would I, I am...
So much going on right now, I can't make it to LBV, which is really too bad. Would have loved to see y'all and do something I haven't done in a long time-...

OK, So I'm working on it. I would love to make it. I have a big deadline at the end of October and a generally hellish month schduled. Maybe Oct. 12-14...
Is there a website with info/registrations? BTW, are you coming to Calstar? If not, you should! It's a great star party every year, very laid back, and a great...
Same questions I had. The only thing I found was on the Astronomy.com web-site: http://www.astronomy.com/asy/community/events/event-info.asp?eventid=901 I...
It's on the LVAS website as the "Furnace Creek Star Party" in their events list. Do you have URLs for those other Cali star parties? You're right, we must be...

I consider RTMC a star party even though it may not be 'dark' every year. It's certainly a party. ... Jeffrey D. Gortatowsky Fullerton, California "Madam,...

Both http://cleardarksky.com/c/FurnCrkCAkey.html and http://cleardarksky.com/lp/Lake_San_Antoniolp.html shows up as 2 on the Bortle scale. Wouldn't Death...
... Death Valley is below sea level and not far from the Las Vegas lights. Although the air is dry in Death Valley, I would think that higher elevations would...
Speaking of Idyllwild and Mt. San Jacinto, I wonder if anyone knows any good observing sites in that area. I live in Hemet and always drive to Joshua Tree to ...
Dang Jon, I was hoping to see you after all this time. And we only live 45 mins apart. Maybe we can meet at LBV sometime this fall or winter. Cheers, Paul...
Calstar is a great star party, not just for the observing. The people there are wonderful and the overall ambience is really laid back. Lake San Antonio is a...
... I have imaged from a location near Chew's Ridge. Conditions were excellent. The road up to Chew's is reported to be challenging. I often wonder about the...
Hiya Jon, I didn't realize you'd moved out of northern California! Aside from Alsing, you might end up being the most active TAC-iego observer down your way!...
FYI, this coming full moon on the night of the 25th of September the Chinese celebrates the large autumn or Harvest moon as know here. Between that and Chinese...
Yeah it's been a while. :) You're right... I should head out to LBV sometime soon. Fall better than winter (living in Hemet has made me afraid of the cold). ...
Hi Mark- Not anymore... the kids have really slowed me down. I don't like to leave them, and also they wake me up at 7am, so it's hard to stay up late! Dunno...
I went up to Thousand Oaks today to pcik up an 8 inch starsplitter with an amazing mirror in it for use in the backyard. Just like you remember Debbie, he...
