The Hill Country Astronomers, a group of amateur astronomy enthusiasts from the surrounding area will have their monthly meeting on Monday, September 2 at the Hill Country University Center in Fredericksburg. They will meet at 6:00 pm, an earlier time due to the holiday. The program this month will be led by some local members on how they plan their observing, utilizing low tech methods with maps and charts, as well as charting and planning software.
The HCA group will also hold a star party gathering the following Friday, September 6 where the members will practice these skills under the night sky. More information about the star party will be available at the meeting. Anyone is welcome not only to attend the meeting, but the star party, as well.
For more information about Hill Country Astronomers, call Jason Fry, president of HCA at 830-992-0181 or email him at heavenwatcher2001@yahoo.com.
