2009 Messier Marathon report.

Cloudy so no viewing but 3 cars came out with people interested in astronomy who may be joining the club.

Friday is the start of Spring so why not drive out to BSC Saturday and enjoy the nearby OCA star party on a clear dark night!

Please click on the title to see the proposed agenda for the Board meeting this coming Sunday, 3/15/09. As always, all members are welcome to attend – please contact Bob Buchheim or Barbara Toy in advance if you are planning to be there.

We had over 15 cars come out Saturday with many more up on BSC road for the Guests that came out. We saw Venus, Saturn, M42 and Comet Lulin along with many more winter objects.

Should be a nice dark night Saturday at Black Star Canyon 3 days after the New Moon!
