Hello NOVAC members. I’m a relatively new member planning to head out to the Turner Mountain site tonight for some observing and (very) beginner astrophotography. I noted on the site’s information page that a post to the NOVAC listserve was requested, hence my post. Hope I’m doing this right!
If anyone would like to join and enjoy some views through my modest SCT, I’m very happy to share! Sorry for the short notice. I was just able to secure a ride last night. Thanks!

The list is actually a mailing list not the comments section here – there is info on how to subscribe to the list (in red) on the Members Page on the NOVAC website but here is a direct link too – http://www.novac.com/wp/members/listserve/ – once subscribed you can send and email to the list
Thanks so much for your quick response, Chris! I’ll get set up for the list serve asap. Your clarification is much appreciated as I’m obviously not all that tech savvy, ha ha.
By way of update, I’m scratching my Turner Mountain plan since I just noted the time restrictions applicable during deer hunting season on the Memorandum of Agreement. Not sure when deer hunting season is, but don’t want to risk it. I may try for Great Meadows though.
Thanks again!
