NOVAC Event Calendar

This meeting is cancelled due to weather – Elections will be held in January and “Show and Tell” will be booked for another time in the future.

NOVAC Members,

Our next meeting will be Sunday Evening, December 8, 7:00 pm with an equipment “show and tell” event with NOVAC members bringing their astronomy equipment for others to see.  You will be able to talk with the equipment owners about how and why they use what they have for observing.  We will meet in Room 163,  Research Hall, George Mason University. Check the web page, http://www.novac.com/meetings/, if you need directions and details.

We are looking for members to bring their equipment like last year.  Email webmaster@novac.com (and the list for that matter) to let us know what you are planning on bringing.

Also, bring along whatever you use to power your equipment (unless it is your automobile!) so that attendees can see the creative ways folks get power to their scopes and mounts and accessories.

If you are setting up equipment to show, please try to arrive between 6:15 and 6:45 to setup your things.

We will also have light refreshments in the spirit of making this a social event to honor all of our volunteers that served NOVAC so well during the past year.

We will elect officers for 2014 at our December NOVAC Meeting.  Candidate nominations have been received for each position.  If you wish to run for one of the officer or trustee positions, please self-nominate by emailing your desire to do so at this email address:  elections@novac.com

We look forward to you coming to attend this fun NOVAC meeting!

Event is cancelled due to weather.

Please read the C.M. Crockett Page for park details.

We will also have light refreshments before the meeting (around 6:30 or so) to recognize all of the volunteers that served NOVAC so well during the past year.

Since we are having our volunteer reception prior to the business meeting, we will NOT meet for the informal pre-meeting dinner at Brion’s this month. Plan to come out and celebrate our volunteers instead!

Please read the C.M. Crockett Page for park details. Details will be updated for the Messier Marathon too!

Unfortunately tonight’s public night is canceled, the third cancelled Crockett Public Night in a row.  The astronomy forecast predicts 70 percent or more cloud cover and the local forecast is cloudy with a 20% chance of showers or drizzle.  Not acceptable conditions; nobody wants precipitation on lenses, mirrors or electronics.

Hoping for clear skies next month and many days before and after.
