ZWO donates Seestar S50
ZWO donates Seestar S50
Club members Steve Houlihan, Bill Seiler, and Jeff Gose bumped into ZWO rep Jose Serrato (second from left) at Calstar 2024 and invited him to speak at a club meeting. The club thoroughly enjoyed his presentation, and we are enjoying the donated S50, which we'll show off at public star parties around northern California. Kudos to everyone involved.

Stargazing Pinto Lake Aug 2024
Stargazing Pinto Lake Aug 2024
On August 31, the club did our first star party at Pinto Lake. Several club member brought their scopes and we entertained over 30 visitors. The weather forecasts were wrong, so we had almost zero clouds or fog and the temperatures were in the 60s. Views were had of globular clusters, nebulae, double stars, and the 'star' of the night, Saturn. Based on this event, we're sure to do it again in 2025.
