Picture Gallery
This page is dedicated to pictures taken by club members. This includes
pictures of events, club members and their equipment and astrophotography pictures
taken by club members and associates.
The club has access to a high resolution color scanner for both prints and slides. We
would like to begin filling this page. If you have any pictures that you would
like added to this picture, please contact Cody Gibson via the email icon
below to make arrangements. Details about each picture, including who took it, what it is a
picture of, (for astrophotography - camera settings, etc.), will be helpful when adding a description to
your pictures.

These photos were taken by
me last year on a trip to Sunriver, Oregon. Sunriver is a community about
17 miles south of Bend, OR on US 97. Sunriver has it’s own nature center
and observatory. The observatory is staffed full time in spring and
summer, with solar viewing by day and deep sky viewing under spectacular
clear skies. This is one of my favorite vacation spots! There are
organized programs for general viewing each evening in summer, plus daily
solar viewing, and kids astronomy programs. Each evening viewing session
starts out with a slide show about astronomy and viewing the night sky. As
darkness falls, everyone moves outside where over a dozen telescopes
ranging from 5” to 20” are staffed by volunteers and employees to help
guide each group on a tour of the heavens. Last summer prior to Table
Mountain, I spent a week at Sunriver, volunteering at the observatory each
night. As you can see, the observatory has a tremendous selection of
telescopes through which to view the night sky. Their newest addition was
the 20-inch under the main dome last year. For additional info on Sunriver
and the observatory, you can check out http://www.sunrivernaturecenter.org.
Enjoy!
