These are photos of meeting activities. We
are a very informal club, as you can see, with many experienced
members.
Bernie is probably the only member who makes his own optics - both mirrors and lenses. Here he is demonstrating how to build a pitch lap. | Bill builds his own telescopes. This is a "bent" refractor he frequently brings to star parties. | |
Blake has built a number of astronomical gizmos including a ponce platform and the binocular mount below. | Dave is an experienced telescope builder. Here he demonstrates a filar micrometer, used to measure angular distances. | |
Joan is a former teacher and here she reviews some current events. | Al is our resident expert on the solar system. | |
For once, they are all quiet and attentive. |
