Charlotte Astronomy!

WELCOME TO THE HOME OF CAAC
This site is the official home of the Charlotte Amateur Astronomers Club, which was established in 1954. The club invites all those with an interest in astronomy to come to a meeting and learn more about the club and what it offers its members - including one of the finest observatories in the southeast!

NEXT MEETING - AUGUST 15th 2008 at 7:00pm
Come one, Come all!  This month we will be holding our annual “Equipment Show & Tell Night”. This very popular program features our    club members presenting everything from the newest telescopes to the oldest as well as many of the latest accessories, widgets, gizmos, and gadgets.  Got a scope that’s new, old, or unique in some way? Please share it with us and tell us a little about what makes it a great scope for you!  How about some “cool” accessories? Chances are some of the rest of us would find them cool too! Please tell us about what it is and how it makes your observing better. Chances are many of your fellow observers would be interested in having one for themselves. 

For our newer members and guests, if you have been thinking about a purchase of some kind, this is an excellent opportunity to see equipment demonstrated and you will have the owner there eager to tell you all about it.

A new feature this year will be the “Bargain Hunter’s Bonanza”
One area of the room will be set up as the Buy – Sell – Trade  Corner.
Almost everyone has some astronomy item lying around that they seldom use. What is yours? It would very likely become someone else’s treasure!!

Please bring it in so someone has that opportunity. We expect to have on hand, the remaining astronomy items from the estate of the late Clyde Bridges. Cynthia McLaughlin, who is representing the family, will be joining us, and wishes to see these items remain within the local astronomy group. She will be prepared to let them go at absolute rock-bottom bargain basement prices!!!  There are a variety of items that will range from about $25 to about $350 and all items are negotiable!! Note* these will be cash only purchases, so come prepared.    See you all there!!!

MEETING LOCATION
Our meetings are held at 7:00pm on the 3rd Friday of each month (except for December) at the Masonic Temple, 500 North Sharon Amity Road. Click here for a map. There is an informal dutch treat dinner before the meeting. See your newsletter for details.
