DFC Field Trip: October 13th 10:00A - 12:00P
Join us on October 13th from 10:00am to around 12:00pm for a private tour of Lowell Observatory. The cost is $10.00 per member and the money goes into an account that is used for historic research at the observatory. Our guide is Kevin Schindler who gave a great zoom talk for our chapter in April, The 1894 Lowell Expedition to Arizona. Some of the areas that Kevin includes are stops at the 24-inch Clark Refractor, Pluto Discovery Telescope, glass plate vault (hidden in the bowels of the old Slipher Building; this is not open to the public but would be a fun spot for our group to see), and the Giovale Open Deck Observatory (note that we are not telescope viewing, as this happens at night.) This trip is limited to 15 AAS/DFC members with priority given to DFC members.
Must be Registered before October 5th with Mary Kearney maryk92@aol.com. More information will be given after registration transportation is not included.
