Hey all, Mark and I both heard back from Newport News Parks about setting up a similar observing program with their parks & rec like VPAS currently has with...
Stargazers, The weather forecast doesn't look too good for tonight. I'll still plan to be at the gates at dusk. Sunset is 6:30 pm. I'm crossing my fingers in...
Hey Mark and Dottie, Excellent! Way to go! "Sharing the joy of astronomy..." Now if we could only get something going in Williamsburg. Let me know if I can...
Bird, In my initial contact to NN Parks & Rec, I included the VPAS link. I also included a link from Hampton Parks & Rec that showed GAP as well as the Sandy...
Hey Dottie, I'd love to help with all of the initial stuff. That should go pretty painlessly. I guess for starters these are the main topics we need to ...
Sounds great Bird. There's a lot to consider and I am guessing from the enthusiasm I think I read into Becky's email, that NNP&R is very interested in this....
Stargazers, Judy and sat at the gate in the rain for about an hour. Guess what, nobody showed up. Go figure. Jones was closed for the week, so we wouldn't have...

Hey Bird, Sorry to here of your suffering and hope for a speedy and complete recovery. I'm sure that the bright lights of fame and fortune are a lot to handle...
Stargazers, I longer have to wear a patch on my good eye. I'd like to celebrate by viewing tonight at the BMX track at Gosnold's Hope Park. Sunset is 7:30 pm....
Stargazers, I would still like to go to Fan Mountain on Friday. I have five tickets available. My new glasses or contacts aren't in, yet. So the only way I'll...
Sungazers, This Friday at 5:49 pm EDT the Partial Solar Eclipse starts. It will end at 6:50 pm EDT. If I don't end up going to Fan Mountain, do any of you want...
Bird, I might be interested. I have handbells tonight (with Diane...from Mark & Diane) until 8pm. If I can get home and get out of my school clothes, into...
Hey Dottie, I just gat a call to remind me that I'll be doing dad duty tonight. Judy has class and doesn't know what time she'll be getting out. Sorry about...
Okay, I'll just plan to observe from home tonight. Maybe I'll just follow Diane home and observe there and use their new BTI...just kidding Mark if you're...
Hey Bird, I'm glad to hear that you have made a quick, full recovery. I guess you are going to be "back in business" for the Fri. night visits to the GAP now....
Stargazers, Anyone up for catching the eclipse Friday? Since I have to wear my old glasses for a few more days, I'm unable to go to Fan Mountain. (I almost...

Stargazers, I have six tickets for Friday night's Fan Mountain tour. Rain or shine. I have the tickets and information sheets. They are yours if you want them....
Great idea! If it's a "go" I'll try to be there. Both the Crab Shack and Huntington Beach are good picks. -- Bob Jones http://daltonhammond.blogspot.com/ ... ...
Hey Bob, I'll be there rain or shine for the Crab Shack and TCCAS meeting afterwards. If the Sun is totally clouded out, I might have to eat some extra desert...
From what I remember in the past, a thin cloud cover that the sun can shine through doesn't hurt a partial eclipse too badly. I'll plan on being at the bar at...
I would love to go, but I will be stuck home with my two little girls. Though I would have to skip the shack as the smell of seafood (and taste) is nauseating...
