Come welcome us to the start of a new year.

After an introduction and chance to share all of the recent images and observing we will have two fun presentations.

Daniel Otte starts with “the Astronomical league’s H Alpha observing program.” The sun is one of the most exciting objects in the sky to observe.  Unlike most astronomical objects, Solar observing allows you to see changes by the minute.  A look at equipment and techniques to complete the program.

Megan Laurenti welcomes us back with “the Fall sky.” The Digistar 7 projector brings you into the Cosmos to tour the fall constellations and a few highlights. From Perseus and Pegasus to Aquarius the fall sky will not disappoint.
