For those of you who aren’t in SoCal, I thought I would update you on the goings on of my astronomy club, the Riverside Astronomical Society (RAS).
This month’s guest speaker was the world famous Dennis Mammana. Dennis is also a member of the RAS and a writer/speaker/teacher of astronomy and photography. Dennis is one of the 33 members of The World At Night (TWAN). If you haven’t visited the TWAN website, I highly recommend that you spend some time. The photography/photographers are spectacular.
Dennis is also going to be teaching a two day workshop on September 7-8, 2013 on how to take night sky photographs at the RAS’s dark sky site, GMARS. The cost for the workshop is $99 for RAS members and $119 for non-members. If you would like to learn to take images like those above that are from Dennis’s collection, come join us. Food and fun, plus a little learning.
Setting up for the meeting.
Diane brought our snacks for the break before Dennis’s talk.
Some of the TWAN members. I am sure you have seen their work on the internet (or people trying to copy their work).

The anticipation is palpable on Mark’s face.
Yeah! Chocolate’s have been won!
