MONTHLY MEETING - THE WELL EQUIPPED ASTRONOMER (Second Annual Gadget Fair)
- Friday, 13 January 2012
- 7:30pm
- SER 244, on the USU Campus
STARGAZERS EQUIPMENT AND GADGET SHOWCASE
Members of the Cache Valley Stargazers
Astronomy is a hobby that is often filled with gadgets and observing aids, all geared toward making the few precious hours we spend under the night sky more enjoyable. The marketplace is full of a dizzying array of books, gadgets and equipment. Many amateurs are also industrious and build their own astrogadgets in their garages and kitchens, or repurpose an ordinary household item for use in astronomy.
This month, join the members of the Cache Valley Stargazers as they share and showcase astronomy equipment they have bought or built or inherited. Learn about the tricks and methods that we have all discovered to make astronomy easier and fun. How can you make your own red flashlight? How do we stay warm in November? What's the best pair of binoculars to use to see Jupiter? Join us to see what kinds of gadgets are out there that might help you make your own time under the night sky be a more enjoyable experience!
Hope to see you there!
If you have an interest in astronomy, please join us, whether you're an absolute novice, or an advanced amateur. Families and children interested in astronomy are welcome!
