2004 STARWALKS AT COPPER

BREAKS STATE PARK

2004 STAR PARTIES AT

FW MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND

HISTORY

Tom Wideman is the coordinator this year and will be putting together a description of the events. I am assisting Tom by coordinating equipment assignments for the volunteers.

Here are the dates and topics for the introductory talks for each:

April 17: Planets and Telescope Clinic

May 22: Comets

June 19: The Summer Triangle

July 17: Globular Star Clusters

August 21: Lunar Observing

September 18: Andromeda

October 9: Planets


We plan to have different speakers for several of the events, but these assignments are not yet complete. FWAS members who would like to included as volunteer hosts at these events should contact Tom. FWAS members who would like to attend the events as guests should contact Copper Breaks State Park in Quanah one week prior to the event if they wish to camp overnight (park spaces are filled by around Wednesday prior to the Saturday events).

Linda Krouse is the Director of the Noble Planetarium at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and she hosts the monthly star parties.  Trista Opperman supports this by coordinating FWAS's volunteers who work the star parties.
