Hello everyone,
This is a brand new year and the Astronomy Project Group would like to start it off right. So far, we have done so, with the purchase of our new telescope, a Celestron NGT-10 and a CCD imaging camera for astrophotography... with a set of color filters. Our thanks goes to the Student Association, the New and Innovative Grant Committee and the Sub-Board Grant Committee for looking over our proposals and giving us the resources for purchasing our new equipment. We would also like to thank our club officers for helping us put together the proposals.
In additional news, we are constantly watching the weather for a clear night to test our new equipment and we will be sending an e-mail or text message about the location and time of the meeting. If you would like to be on the list-serve, send an e-mail to
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
to express your interest.
Clear Skies!! |
