Weather should be warm and sky should be dark and hopefully clear for the June star party at Black Star Canyon. So plan to come out and set up a telescope for an evening of fun and good viewing.
At long last, a Black Star Canyon star party on a clear, dark night that lasted until midnight! Hopefully we will have many more in the coming months…
Looks like this star party will not be rained out…finally! Night should be fairly clear, warm and dark. Let’s go galaxy hunting…
Weather report does not look good but if the rain subsides and the sky clears, we will have a star party.
Come out and search for Messier objects Saturday night…if it doesn’t rain!
We had over 30 cars come out Saturday night.
Looks like the weather will finally hold up so we can hold a star party at nearby Black Star Canyon. Hope we can get a good turn out after so many cancellations the past three months.
Start 2012 off right and join us at the first BSC star party of the new year…should be clear and warm.

We’re having an informal remembrance event for John Sanford before the general meeting on 1/13/12, starting at 7:00 p.m. John specifically didn’t want a formal memorial service of any kind, but liked the idea of his friends at OCA getting together and sharing some memories of good times in his honor. John was important to the club and to many of us in the club – I hope those of you who knew him (or who want to know more about him) will come.
The plan is to have several different members share stories or particular memories of John – if you have a story you’d like to share, please contact Barbara Toy (btoy@cox.net). If you don’t want to actually speak at the event or can’t be there in person, please send me your comments or story and we can read it to the group or put it in a memorial issue of the Sirius Astronomer.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing you all on 1/13.
