Beginning in August, we will start having our monthly indoor meetings at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens.  All members should have received a letter from club Pres Harry Bearman with all the details--but for those of you who didn't get it (or didn't read it!), here is a summary of the plan. 

As shown at right, the Botanic Gardens are just around the corner from our old location at the Museum.  We will now be doing the meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, the first of which will be Tuesday, 8/20 at 7:00pm. 

We will be in one of the meeting rooms in the Botanic Garden Center, which is attached to the Conservatory.  As the map shows, use the northern entrance to the Botanic Gardens and you will be in the parking lot right in front of the building.

This is a very nice facility and we look forward to a successful transition. 

Doug Christianson-The attached images were taken in Arlington 6/10 between 7:55 pm and 8:18 pm. The maximum eclipse behind a tree at 8:22pm. I got about 10 joggers looking through my eyepiece or camera finder as they made laps around the park and checked on the progress. My experience with 1 hour processing was not too good so the final shot as the sun went behind the tree didn't make it out of the processing lab. The fully automatic machines have a very hard time finding an image on the negatives without clear

borders.  These are 35 mm prints with ASA 160 film at prime focus, 8" LX200 at f 6.3, Olympus OM-1, exposure 1/250th. For additional images visit my site at http://home.attbi.com/~captdlc/wsb/index.html.
