Photographing Diamonds in the Sky
A great night at CAAS was had by all. John Reed gave an amazing Presentation with a ton of pictures and instruction on how to use a regular camera to do Astrophotography! It was an AMAZING lesson and images. Thank you for sharing such a great and teachable talent!
Andy Reed our heroic Treasurer has built a Google Checkout function that will soon be implemented on the website by Jim Dixon, to receive donations, dues and payments…waaaay faster than mailing checks!
Sandy Morris garnered many accolades when she recommended we have our new Mailbox put up next to our gate… in case Guests/Emergency/Green Martians are ever looking for our property address.
Wade Van Arsdale is putting up the mailbox and leading the spring clean up with Juan’s Lawns who will do the annual “heavy” grounds keeping on Monday. Please come up and help them, Monday.
