Astronomy Day 2006

NWGAA members were the invited guest of the Weinman Mineral Center for Astronomy Day on May 6, 2006. NWGAA provided solar viewing for the public via baader and H-alpha filters. Boy scout troups, Weinman members and many guest from the general public enjoyed the day. NWGAA also provided exhibits of educational materials as well as informative displays regarding the solar system. Although NWGAA's focus was to assist the Wienman Center, NWGAA members greatly enjoyed each others company. One highlight came near the end of the day as a gentleman not associated
with NWGAA brought a telescope he built in 1965. His pride in this piece of equipment was as appealing as the scope itself.
