San\nJuan<\/strong> Stargazers Improve Telescope\nViewing Skills <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \nTheSanJuan Stargazerswill\nhold their regular monthly meeting on Thursday, April 25, 2019, at the Chamber\nVisitors\u2019 Center Conference Room located at 105 Hot Springs Blvd.  The meeting is from 7- 8:30 PM. (SHARP)   Hot\ndrinks, and hopefully a treat, will be served at 6:30 with time to socialize.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \n        Our program theme is switching this month from\nthe winter study of amazing Hubble pictures to our summer goal of improving our\nskills using a telescope. We will specifically discuss skills for Meteor\nShowers, Comets, Eclipses & More.  We\nare working on improving because of our nine star parties this summer at\nChimney Rock National Monument. Our first Star Party will be a Stars &\nGalaxies dark sky event on Friday, May 31, with the gate opening as 7:30 &\nprogram beginning at 8:15 followed by telescope viewing.  If you are interested in taking part in our\nStar Parties, but you do not have a telescope, the Chimney Rock Interpretive\nAssociation owns 4 telescopes, 2 are computerized \u201cgo-to\u201d telescopes & 2\nare manual 10 inch Dobsonians. We can help you learn to use either type of\nscope.  We have operation manuals which\nyou can study and we will have practice sessions on Friday, May 17, &\nFriday, May 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n   On Thursday, April 25th, <\/sup> at 6 PM we will have a Telescope Clinic.<\/strong>  Many\npeople in Pagosa have a telescope which they were given or picked up somewhere,\nbut have no idea how to use it or if it is even usable. At our Telescope Clinics\nyou can learn how to use it or fix it.  We have limited space in our Clinics so call\nearly to reserve a telescope expert. \nPlease call 970-335-8286, with a little information about what you have and\nwhat you may be needing in the form of help, so we can match you with the right\nclub member.   2019 is the year to add this amazing dimension\nto your life!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \n        The San Juan Stargazers are part of the\nAstronomical League, which includes clubs from all over the US.  We have a new web-site<\/strong>—www.sanjuanstargazers.org, as well as an email address,\nsjstargazers@gmail.com<\/a> and a club\nphone number 970-335-8286. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \n We welcome everyone who has an\ninterest in learning more about our  AMAZING\nUNIVERSE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
