August 27, Chapter Meeting and observing field dedication

28 August, 2011 (10:03) | Events | By: tramakers

A great meeting with the feature presentation presented by Dr. Richard Schmude: “Jupiter’s in 2010 and 2011″. , followed by Steve Phillips “August 2011 – Observing 101″ and Theo Ramakers’ “Remembering Jon Wood” presentation to celebrate the dedication of our Observing Field to our late Chapter Observing Supervisor and dear friend: Jon Wood. With clear skies, members of the chapter with 25 scopes and 3 binos made it to the new “Jon Wood Astronomy Field”. Because many family members and friends showed up during the observing session,  the number of individuals observing was larger than the people attending the meeting. What a way to celebrate the dedication of the observing field to our late friend!Click here for some pictures.
