Keep Looking Up!

Northeast Nebraska Astronomy Club (NENAC) invites you to their August “workshop”!  Have you ever wanted to capture photos at night, but were not sure how?  If so, this free workshop is for you.  Friday, August 21 at 8pm at the Lyons Library and Saturday, August 22 at 8pm at the Decatur Sears Center local newspaper editor and astronomy enthusiast Jamie Horter will show you the basics behind night photography.  Please bring your own photography equipment, film or digital, phone or camera, simple or sophisticated, and Jamie will shape this exciting workshop around you with everyone taking night photos this Friday and Saturday night.  Tripods for equipment are recommended but not necessary.  There will be equipment to share from NENAC members.

Also, at these meetings like the July meetings, door prizes will be given away.  A fine pair of Meade 10X50 high quality, multi-use binoculars will be given away at the Lyons meeting.  Exquisite lunar maps with named features will be given away at the Decatur meeting.

Then free August star charts will be handed out and explained.  Weather permitting, Friday, we will travel 3 miles south of Lyons to the Cory and Tracie Martin residence to experiment with night photography, view the Moon and deep sky objects.  Saturday, we will travel to the south side of Decatur to the Fugman Observatory to experiment with night photography, view the Moon and deep sky objects.

For more information on this and future NENAC activities google “nenacstars” or call Pastor Gary Fugman at 349-1953.  Mark your calendars for this weekend to experiment with night photography, get in on door prizes, observe God’s glorious heavens, and, as always, Keep Looking Up!
