At the June 12th meeting of the Big Bear Valley Astronomical Society, Paul Littlecoyote will present “Enjoying Globular Clusters”. Globular star clusters are easily visible to observers with even binoculars and small telescopes. A couple can even be seen with the unaided eye. Littlecoyote’s Powerpoint presentation will demonstrate how to find, observe and get the most out of these objects. Observation with the Celestron Nexstar 11 in StarGazers Inn’s Observatory will follow.
We’d like to invite all amateur astronomers to take their telescopes out to the sidewalk on the evening of May 19th. We know that many amateurs have commitments with local observatories, planetariums, libraries, etc on the Saturday evening near first quarter Moon, but if you can spare some of your members, it would be great if they could find places where people AREN’T expecting to look through a scope.
Black Star Canyon was warm, clear and fun this past Saturday evening!
