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

We should have dark clear skies this Saturday night at Black Star Canyon. Why not drop by this nearby OCA star party and bring your scope!

We had 20 cars and about 30 people at the BSC star party this past Saturday. The sky was very clear and dark up until just past 10 pm…then it clouded over fast and everyone left before 11 pm.
