On June 9th at the HAS Observing Site, George Stradley, our Field Trip and Observing Chairman, held his 2nd All Clubs Star Party. In attendance were members from the Ft. Bend Astronomy Club, North Houston Astronomy Club and the Houston Astronomical Society. There was approx. 50 guest and members present for the event. The Observatory Committee cooked Hot Dogs and Hamburgers for everyone while trying out our new cover over our cooking area. It was hot and smokey under the cover despite having two fans, but without the cover, it would have been much hotter with the Sun beating down on the cooks. The lessoned learned, next time we cook, we will bring out some more fans. I would like to thank Gary Delzer and Dale Morningstar for "Volunteering" to cook the food. You guys did a wonderful job despite the heat. I would also like to thank all the other volunteers that brought all the condiments and fixings for the Hot Dogs and Hamburgers. Also, thanks goes to Ed Farini for coming out early Saturday to help get the site ready for the Star Party. The biggest thanks goes to George Stradley for organizing and coordinating the Star Party. Thanks George and we look forward to the next one in September. Below are some pictures that were sent in by Dick Locke, Dana Lindstrom and Bob Rogers. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.
