Stargazers Finally Hold a Private Meeting on Thursday, September 17, 2020
The San Juan Stargazers will Review the Significance of Nebula
at our September 17th Private Meeting
TheSanJuan Stargazers have not been able to have regular monthly meetings for a very long time, but we decided that since we are scientifically oriented people, we are going to take the latest scientific information available and create the safest meeting situation possible on Thursday, September 17, at 5:30 PM. We are not meeting at the Chamber, but at a member’s home which has a big deck and yard. At the door your temperature will be taken by a nurse as you sign in for contact tracing.. Bring your mask for the appropriate times and hand sanitizer will be flowing from a fountain. People will need to RSVP at 415-994-2886 to get the address. Call soon since attendance is limited. There will be a light catered dinner served because we need comfort food while sharing experiences of the unbelievable 2020 Covid Pandemic.
During the months of “stay-at- home” in addition to improving all the Hubble photos on our web-site at sanjuanstargazers.org, Joan Mieritz made 2 albums of pages from the last 3 years of Deep Space Mysteries Calendars. She will use the Nebula photos for our educational Program.
We are hoping that our co-founder, Jerry Granok will be able to attend. To make this possible, another member, Eric Fisk, who when working on satellites at Colorado Aerospace must wear the special Clean Room or “snowman” suit, is trying to get a used one for Jerry to wear so we know he will be safe. At the meeting also will be several members heading to Texas later in the month and some new members. If you would like to join the San Juan Stargazers we can still add your name to the list of people receiving Reflector Magazine which is the publication of the National Astronomical League of which you automatically become a member. To join call our club number: 970-335-8286.
Note that we are starting early to take orders for the fabulous Astronomy Magazine Deep Space Mysteries 2021 Calendar which is a fund-raiser for our scholarship fund. In addition to the wonderful photos, everyday there is a notation of significant sky events and phases of the moon. Each photo has a detailed explanation to help you painlessly learn the basics of Astronomy, so it is great for any student, young or old. The calendars are perfect to mail since they are unbreakable and they give the message everyday throughout the year that you cared enough to send such an amazing gift. You can also call our club number, 970-335-8286 to place your order. They are $15.
The San Juan Stargazers are part of the Astronomical League, which includes clubs from all over the US. We have a web-site—www.sanjuanstargazers.org, as well as an email address, sjstargazers@gmail.com and a club phone number: 970-335-8286.
We welcome all members to this meeting who have an interest in learning more about our
AMAZING UNIVERSE.

The San Juan Stargazers will Hold a Members-Only
Meeting on Thursday, September 17th
TheSanJuan Stargazers decided that since we are scientifically oriented people, we are going to take the latest information available and create the safest meeting situation possible on Thursday, September 17, at 5:30 PM. We are meeting outdoors, at a member’s home. When you arrive your temperature will be taken by a nurse as you sign in for contact tracing. Bring your mask for times when needed and hand sanitizer will be available. People need to RSVP at 415-994-2886 to get the address. Call soon since attendance is limited. There will be a light catered dinner served because we need comfort food while sharing “tales of woe” from the last 6 months.
During the months of “stay-at- home,” Joan Mieritz worked on improving our web-site at sanjuanstargazers.org so CHECK IT OUT!!!! and she made 2 albums using the last 3 years of Deep Space Mysteries Calendars. She will use the Nebula photos from these calendars for our educational Program.
This meeting is for members only, so if you would like to join the San Juan Stargazers we can still add your name to the list of people receiving Reflector Magazine which is the publication of the National Astronomical League of which you automatically become a member.

We did hold “Star Parties” at Chimney Rock in July & August and will maybe in September, if people sign up. There were NO TELESCOPES due to the need for social distancing, but we had wonderful Power Point Presentations in the new gorgeous 100-seat amphitheater with only a small number of visitors allowed.
We are already starting to take orders for the fabulous Astronomy Magazine Deep Space Mysteries 2021 Calendar which is a fund-raiser for our scholarship fund. In addition to the often amazing photos, everyday there is a notation of significant sky events and phases of the moon. Plus, each photo has a detailed explanation to help you painlessly learn the basics of Astronomy. It is like a college introductory class without exams and it is a great gift for any student, young or old. The calendars are a perfect gift to mail since they are unbreakable and they give the message everyday throughout the year that you cared enough to send such an exciting gift. You can also call our club number, 970-335-8286 to place your order. They are $15, payable when you receive them in late October.
