Hello Jess,

 

I just moved up North from the Sacramento area. I am very new to astromony and will be getting a 3" refractor from family over Thanksgiving (I used to use this scope as a child). My folks say they are going to give me money to buy a nice scope as a house-warming gift, when we get our house built. I would love to learn from an experienced person. TAC-Shasta is extremely slow. I posted about two months ago, have not heard a peep until you.

 

We are up in Burney (an hour NE of Redding) and have really dark skys. I can see the Milky Way from my backyard. We just bought some land, which is on the outskirts of Burney and above the town. There is a nice view spot on top of a hill with 360 degree views of the sky. We can provide a room.

 

Talk to you soon,

 

Michael

I'm interested in getting involved in any astronomy events in the
Redding area. I currently live in the Roseville area, but am from
Redding originally and still have many connections to the area. I
Graduated from Shasta High in 1972. I am currently a member of the
Sacramento Valley Astronomical Society (www.svas.org ) and love to get
out and do public events and school events. Now that I live here I
really appreciate the dark(er) skies of the Redding area. If any of
you might like to get together for some "stargazing" let me know. I
always bring my Nexstar 11 GPS with me when I come North.

Clear Skies!!!
