Richmond County Astronomy Club Notes from February 11, 2025
Attendance was low due to a steady rain
What do we do at Astronomy Club meetings? Talk about astronomy! Richmond County Astronomy Club meeting was tonight.
Using the Richmond Community College Celestron 8 We talked about how altazimuth mounted telescope work, mythology and the stars and how today determined distances. Members also showed recent images taken. Future telescope outings at dark sky locations were discussed. Carl showed how a slide ruler works.
