                     San\nJuan<\/strong> Stargazers to Consult on School\nDistrict Astronomy Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              & How\nto Learn Summer Star Constellations  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \nTheSanJuan Stargazerswill\nhold their regular monthly meeting on Thursday, May 23, 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 a treat will be served at 6:30 with time to socialize.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \n        Our program for this month will be meeting and\nbrain-storming with Middle School Principal Chris Hinger who is working on a\nvery expensive & exciting astronomy project that the Stargazers may be able\nto help with. He will present background information about the project.\nStargazers can share their ideas & then we will see how we can work\ntogether to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       \n  With the time that is remaining\nwe will have a specially designed lesson on using the summer constellations to\nimprove our telescope viewing skills.  If\nyou have wanted to learn the constellations, this method may be the answer. We\nare working hard because of our nine Star Parties this summer at Chimney Rock National\nMonument, plus we have an additional 10 practice sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Our first Star Party will be a Stars\n& Galaxies dark sky event on Friday, May 31, with the gate opening as 7:30\n& program 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 with operation manuals which you can study. We will have practice\nsessions for all telescope operators on Friday, May 17, & Friday, May 24,\nbut they are for members only. Please RSVP to Joan if you will be coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n   We do not have another Telescope Clinic scheduled\nfor now.  But many people in Pagosa have\na telescope which they were given or picked up somewhere, but have no idea how\nto use it or if it is even usable. The San Juan Stargazers want to help you learn\nhow to use it or fix it.   You may call 970-335-8286, with a little\ninformation about what you have and what you may be needing in the form of help.   We will\nmatch you with a club member and set up a convenient time & place to meet. We\nwant to get as many telescopes as we can working. You can have an amazing\nsummer learning how to use it at both the Star Parties & practice sessions.\n  2019\nis the year to add this amazing dimension to your life!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \n        The San Juan Stargazers are part of the Astronomical\nLeague, 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":"
