Mark your calendar, next Saturday is our regular monthly club meeting and we’d like for you to join us for an evening of astronomy!
Darrell Heath will be giving a program on the late Sir Patrick Moore, who hosted the BBC astronomy program The Sky at Night from 1957 up until his death in 2012. Sir Patrick was one of the great popularizers of amateur astronomy and The Sky at Night is the longest running TV show with the same presenter in television history! After the brief talk on Sir Patrick’s life we will watch one of the more recent episodes of the show now hosted by astronomers Chris Lintott and Maggie Aderin-Pocock. Also, one lucky person will win a copy of the latest issue of The Sky at Night magazine, along with a CD that contains an episode of the show and many other astronomy features. Constellation of the month will be Lepus by TJ Colvin. 4 PM Novice observer program and Q&A. 5 PM Supper Bowl: Hearty Senate Bean soup and country cornbread (gluten free). 6 PM Meeting and presentation. Afterward observing, weather permitting. Try to come early if you can and bring work gloves, chain saws, clippers etc to help to clean up the limbs left over from our recent horizon enhancement procedure. |
FOR SALE: Celestron CPC 800 — SOLD!
SOLD in two days.
Follow this link for details.
I’m selling my Celestron CPC-800 telescope and accessories and hoping to make someone a good deal in order to sell it all as a “kit”. The telescope was purchased in January 2013. Most everything was purchased based on advice from some of the elders of CAAS combined with my own research and I have to say I think it’s a pretty decent setup… I just wasn’t ever able to get and keep my family interested in observing.
The telescope has only been set up 10-20 times, it has been stored in its padded case inside my house.
I’m located in Benton, AR and can probably meet you somewhere to complete the sale.
I have over $3000 in the setup and am asking $1500 for the whole shebang. If I can’t find a buyer for everything then, after a few weeks, I’ll consider listing the items individually. If you don’t think the asking price is fair, let’s talk about that.Bryan Signorelli

PS – On the off chance that you have one… we will be rolling this hobby money over and applying it towards the purchase of an Aire Super Puma raft in order to head east or west and enjoy the whitewater.
