Monthly General Meeting
Friday February 15, 2013
8:00 pm
Speaker: Forrest Lockhart
Topic: “The Origin & Development of the Cameron Park Community Observatory and its user group The Sierra Stargazers”
The Cameron Park Rotary Community Observatory, a major community project, was completed in 2006 in celebration of Rotary International’s 100th anniversary. Patterned after the public observatory in Bidwell Park in Chico, the Community Observatory features two 14-inch telescopes that bring our galaxy to life and offer excellent viewing of celestial phenomena. Forrest Lockhart played a key role in the development of the observatory. Join SVAS for a fun and inspiring talk about astronomy in the local community!
