Tri-Valley Stargazers Astronomy Group

I just signed up to become a member of the Tri-Valley Stargazers Astronomy club. Looking forward to learning from group members passionate about astronomy and astrophotography. It can be challenging to find accessible dark sky areas in the bay area (not polluted by city and neighborhood street lights), so gaining access to the private spots in Livermore will be fantastic. 

A few benefits of joining this group:

• Access to like-mind folks who have a hardcore passion for the stars
• Loaner telescopes
• Access to private dark sky locations near Livermore
• Hidden Hills Observatory
• Del Valle
• Monthly speakers
• Invitations to private and public star parties in Livermore, Yosemite, and more

Here's a link to the May 2020 newsletter (Link here: May 2020 newsletter) to get a feel for the content and activities the group is pumping out. Looking forward to contributing and meeting club members in the future.
