April Meeting
‘What’s in Your Library?’
Since November PAC programs have covered How to Buy a Telescope, How to Use Your Telescope, and AL Observing Programs.
So we have the equipment, we are learning to use it, and now we have a List and a Plan.
… but where do we begin to look?
From simple free sky apps to extensive in-depth hard copy charts and atlases, there is a wealth of knowledge available to help us find our list of objects in the sky. April’s program will provide a basic overview of many of the print and digital tools PAC members use to guide us through our journey in astronomy. Members will share some of what’s in their library so attendees can get a hands-on feel for what’s available.
Tuesday, May 26th, 7:30pm

Open to the public.
May Meeting
Program: Did somebody recently get a new telescope? Maybe there is one already hanging about, waiting to be set up? We can help! Your friendly local Prairie Astronomy Club members are here to assist. Our May meeting program is ‘How to Use Your Telescope’, with plenty of members present to assist you in getting your gear in order.
