To see the agenda for the Board meeting this coming Sunday, 1/24/2010, please click on the title to this article. This is the first meeting of the 2010 Board.
As always, all members are welcome, but please notify Bob Buchheim, Craig Bobchin or Barbara Toy if you plan to attend. This is due to security concerns of our generous host for the meeting, Lockheed Martin.
Tonight’s Astrophyics Group meeting will feature three video lectures, starting with a lecture by UC Berkeley’s Alex Filippenko called “The Age of the Universe,” then “Cosmic Geometry Triangle in the Sky ” in Mark Whittle’s “Cosmology: The History and Nature of Our Universe” series. Time permitting, we will end with “Tying up the Tachyon Monster with Spinning Strings” by James Gates as part of his series on string theory – with time for discussions and visiting as well. We hope to see you there!

We only had a dozen people show up on this cloudy evening but everyone had a good time.
Don’t miss the first BSC star party of 2010…isn’t that on your New Years resolutions list?
If it doesn’t rain then come on out to Black Star Canyon this Saturday for the last Orange County OCA star party in 2009…but it will be cold!!!
The all new OCA 14-month 2010 desk calendars are still only $10.00 (same price as last year) – let us know how many you want so we can be sure to have enough to cover your order! They look great on your desk, counter, wherever you want to display them, they make great gifts, and they help support the club – a total “win” for all concerned! Contact Alan Smallbone (asmallbone@earthlink.net) to reserve your calendars as soon as possible, so they can be ready for the general meeting.
We only had 15 cars but a lot of guests. The night sky was clear…for a few hours.
The next meeting of the OCA Board is this coming Sunday, 11/8/09 at 5:30 p.m., with the pre-meeting potluck at 5:00. All members are welcome to attend, but please contact Bob Buchheim or Barbara Toy in advance if you plan to be there.

We start at dark so will be a long Black Star Canyon star party now that daylight savings time has ended. This near-town star party is calling your name…
We had 15 cars come out and the sky was clear as the sun set…but clouded over at 7:30
