Posted on by tepiastar

Our next “How to Use Your Telescope” class is on Friday, 1/5/07, at 7:30 p.m. near the classroom behind the Centennial Heritage Museum. If you’ve got a telescope you’d like some help with – please bring it! If you’d like to come help people who need some assistance with their telescopes, please do! And, if you don’t have a telescope yet but would like to see what’s involved in setting different models up and using them – this is a great chance to see that first hand and to ask any questions you might have.

Pump repaired at Anza!

Posted on by tepiastar

Don Lynn and Jim Hannum have repaired the pump at the well on our Anza property, and the tank should be full by the time people arrive for the star party. That means we should have our normal supply of running water tonight, as well as good conditions for viewing, so come on out for the star party!
