Below is the text of a message I sent out a few weeks ago. Could I get a show of hands (or emails) of those who might be able to assist with a summer camp...
John, I think I can make it. Depending on batteries or access to AC I might be able to show some live webcam stuff of the moon. Big easy target. I'm just not...
Hi all, Anyone going to try for Claude, I know the blood suckers are out in force, on our way back from Dallas last Sunday, between Clarendon and Amarillo we...
Thanks Gene. I have a map to the place and plan to go there on Sunday evening so I can be sure of the directions (it's just outside of town, to the north)....
Hi John, If I am not still at work at that time I will try to get there. We are going to be trying to get the project that I have been working on for the last...
Hello everyone, my name is Joel Warren, and I live in Amarillo. I recently purchased a NexStar C8i GPS scope after being out of "the game" for 20 years. I...
Hello Joel. Welcome back to Astronomy. I also found my way back after being interested in Carlsbad, NM during the late 1950's. I live in Lubbock but met many...
Thanks to those who have offered to help out at the summer camp observing session in north Amarillo on Tuesday night (tomorrow, July 8). Sounds like several...
Joel, Glad to see you are interested in astronomy again! The Club does meet once a month for a business meeting and several times a month (weather permitting)...
Hello, My name is Terrill Bartlett and I live in Canadian. I have been in and out of astronomy:-( for several years and would like to join your club but I'm ...
Terrill, We would be glad to have you at any of our meetings or observing sessions. We observe from a dark sky site south of Claude, but may go to Clayton...
Jim, I would enjoy that very much. I probably won't make it to Clayton Lake but I will try to make the next trip to Claude. I'm assuming from the group's ...
Hey Terrill, It's good to hear there is another amateur astronomer on my side of the panhandle (I live in Pampa). Looking forward to meeting you. Jim was...
Reagan, Thanks! Does the club make a lot of outings to area schools? It sounds like fun but I guess at times, with the wrong kids or people, it could be ...
It is time to end the summer drought for the folks in Union County. Time to feed the bears. For all of the gluttons for punishment, load up the camping gear...
I don't know that we do a lot of school outings. But we try to help out any group that has an interest in the sky. I would say most of the outings are for ...
Bob, I could possibly be persuaded, give me a call when you will try to get there. Gene ... From: bob_hill12000 <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> Reply-To:...
I just posted my first Mars photo, taken with a webcam at Claude last night. Hope the trip to Clayton Lake was great. It was pretty windy at Claude -- made...
Superb! In spite of the wind, it turned out to be a productive night. It looks like to me that you've got the issues with the mount resolved. I'm glad...
What planetarium or charting program do you guys use? I use TheSky but have found it to be inaccurate at times. The worst was Thursday night when I was looking...
Hi Terrill, I'm not sure why but "Megastar" seems to be the most popular planetarium software in the club. It may have been because "Megastar" interfaced with...
I've been avoiding posting a lot of images lately but I was pretty pleased with my latest results so I thought I'd share it with the group. Under "Nick's...
That's a great shot of Mars, John. We missed the imagers at Clayton Lake! Ron made a couple of Mars sketches. He will be glad to see how closely his "images"...
I have The Sky, but use Megastar more. Emil has put a lot of work into making the program usable and has been very receptive to suggestions, including the...
