Call Mel (307.543.2424) to volunteer to do a program or host a meeting. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ The date was July 31, 2011, it was cool & overcast in the park, the tourists were frequent & inquisitive. But, it was just another day at the scope for the crew of the J(H)AC at our National Astronomy Day event in GTNP at Colter Bay for year no. 17, except, cloud cover was our nemesis this year & we had to do all our visitations inside the visitor center. No solar viewing nor was there any night sky viewing after Bob's amphitheater show. Sorta good in a way, cause the skeeters on the bay were mighty hungry if you do this event in late July instead of mid-August. Besides those in the pictures below, also present were Elizabeth who took the pics, Loretta, & John Farmer came to help in the evening, if the clouds had parted.
___________________________ Welcome to our webpage concerning the activities of our amateur astronomy organization, one of several engaged in astronomy in Wyoming. Our Club Chair for the last 15+ yrs. now is MEL TUCKER. It was begun in 1992 with 5 charter members and now boasts about 40-50. Our members are students, retired military, geologists, teachers, pilots, homemakers, professional astronomers, students, and more. Club Dues are STILL $12. to join, $10. to renew, $8. for a second family member ($18. max per family) and $6. for students. Make checks out to the Jackson (Hole) Astronomy Club and send to LORETTA SCOTT at Box 994, Jackson, WY, 83001-0994. (If students can't afford to make this nominal investment, we will let them join for free.) Benefits of membership include a monthly newsletter, discounts on national astronomy magazines, instruction and use of the club's three telescopes & astronomical binoculars (Re Telescope Loaner Info for Members below), monthly meetings, observing with others members, discounts on occasional courses, etc. Each meeting includes an observing session if weather allows.
