Our regular star party June 7 at Caledon will also
be a free, public teaching evening. Bring out that Christmas telescope that you haven't
quite used yet. We'll help you figure out any of your personal gear, and help you start

October 28 2007 - New Comet, Photos Coming
|
|
Comet Holmes has suddenly and unexpectedly become a naked-eye object
in Perseus. I hope you've had a chance to observe it. Several club
members have sent new photos of the comet. I hope to have time to
put some of them on this Web site soon.

September 22 2007 - New Astrophotos
|
|
Club members have been sending me their photos much faster than I can maintain the Web site.
I have some new ones in the gallery.
Note that the gallery includes thumbnail images, which I have not yet made the time to
resize and crop. Some of them appear squashed. When you click on the thumbnail, you get
the original photograph in its original, correct size and appearance.

Check it out. Among other benefits, it's quicker and easier to get
