The Long Suffering Wife had seen some sort of notice about a local event, a “star party” at the Victor Valley Museum, put on by the High Desert Astronomical Society (HiDAS). In an effort start exploring our new community and meeting folks, off we went!
Click on it to blow it up – the bright “star” to the lower left of the Moon is Saturn. Those two objects were the primary focus of the various dozen or so telescopes set up, although a couple were also showing us globular clusters and nebulae.
I wanted to get information on HiDAS. I hope it will give me additional opportunities to get out of the house a couple times a month and to get help from more experienced amateur astronomers for upgrading my telescopes and astrophotography equipment. As well as somewhere in the future have opportunities to use the club telescopes and viewing site out in nearby truly “dark sky” conditions.
A fun evening!
We Love The Stars Too Fondly 
How cool!
