    Thanks for sharing about the dark sky meter. I’m eager to see what we get out of it over the year.

    How do photos get submitted to the club’s web page, to the Facebook page? How do articles get submitted for the newsletter?

    Thanks.

    Here’s a pic of Randy setting up his giant scope. 🙂

    A friend of mine liked this photo better, and I have to agree—so I’m posting it as well.

    Found out the site likes JPG better than PNG. I’m going to upload several images. Yosef, feel free to use these, just give me credit along with the RAC. Thanks!

    Trying to upload photos. I may have to upload one image at a time. This was from June 8th—A glorious night for astronomy.

    Totally agree with you Macastronome!  I was over at Keller Wildlife Management Area taking dark sky readings, observing and photographing some galaxies!  Let’s share at our meeting tonight!

    Joseph, which ZWO can are you thinking about getting?

    I’m saving up for a a rig myself. It’ll be awhile before I take the plunge. Saving is going slower than expected.

    We sure did. Totally ruined observations with our scopes, but totally worth it!

    Saturday June 8th truly was a great night to look up at the heavens. I bagged a few of the Herschel 400 and took some wonderful images of the sky and the Root River sun and moonset. We even saw a strange effect in the sky at 10:45.

    Looking forward to the next clear sky night!
