The Santa Cruz Astronomy Club has its annual Pot Luck dinner on Thursday, December 12.  We should start about 7:00pm at the Scout House in Harvey West Park in Santa Cruz.  You can be creative about the food items you bring.  Might as well bring your friend and relatives.  Mostly by chance club members seem to bring right selection of main dishes, side dishes, salads, and deserts.  

As far as know should be able to use the refrigerator, stove, oven and sink in the Scout House.

The Moon occultation Venus, Wednesday morning 4-22-2009

Wed, 04/22/2009 - 21:57 — bseiler

I woke at 4:30AM, jumped into car and raced outback of Fort Ord to watch the
Moon/Venus occultation.  Got setup about the time Venus was covered up by the moon.  At
5:30AM the fog rolled in.  No more moon!  I put everything in the car and headed east on
Reservation road fast.  Just past Route 68 pulled over in small neighborhood at 5:50AM.  Got
setup with webcam and caught rough view of Venus coming out from behind moon.  See attached file.
