I don't know if I put it on the website, but we'll also have sci-fi movies running in the Nature Center at night, for bored non-astronomer spouses and kids,...

... The first IFSP I worked the gate on the Friday evening. I took my binoculars with me although the sun was still setting. There were a lot of storms in...
There are two buildings at Camp Cullom. The Nature Center and the Lodge. These would be used for people and equiptment protection if equiptment could not be...
... The personal radios that Lisa and I will carry out there also pick up the NOAA weather radio automated warnings. In fact they off out at Camp Collum ...
Pluto spends about 20 years in each orbital cycle closer to the Sun than Neptune. Since the "TransNeptunian" aspect of the discovery announcement was so...
I had to run out to PGO the other day, so I took the 200S to 850W route, which has seemed like the best alternate route from Lafayette to Mulberry: 200S meets...
Sorry for the last minute change, but due to the death of a close friend and former president of the Chicago Astronomical Society, Dan Joyce of the Cernan...
I've updated the IFSP pages on the WVAS web site: http://www.stargazing.net/wvas/ifsp/ifsp.html. If you have any more images or corrections, please let me...
