Activities At our regular club meeting on April 11, Kent Francis, local astrophotographer, spoke at our General Meeting. He discussed what kinds of astrophotos people can take with their current equipment and how to get the best results. He also showed what an amateur astronomer can do with equipment that is on the market. Thanks, Kent, for sharing your knowledge. On April 2, WPC had a booth on Earth Day at Market Square at Town Center. We had pictures to display, met people interested in photography and helped WPC to be known in town. On April 16, we had a field trip to MERCER ARBORETUM. Plants from around the world, including those found in tropical rainforests, deserts and wetlands were found at Mercer Arboretum and Botanic Gardens. Special thanks for refreshments for the last meeting! thanks to Maria Leiva, who brought drinks, Mike Guidry brought cookies, and Dianna Montoya brought the salty snack. WPC really appreciate your help. |
