West Valley Astronomy Club

The WVAC is a friendly, engaging, and informative Astronomy Community in the West Valley. We have an exciting program of activites from September to May. We invite you all to participate in our activities. We think joining us will enhance your interest in astronomy and astroimaging while having fun at the same time. Consider becoming a member. Our active members use a variety of telescopes, mounts, cameras and electronics, do visual astronomy or electronically assisted astronomy with cameras, or astrophotography by processing many hours of data captured by electronic cameras. We actively share our knowledge and experience with young and old, novices or experts. Please visit our website WWW.WVAC.NET

Marley Park Elementary Second Grade Outreach

Marley Park Elementary Second Grade Outreach

On April 29th John Hiatt organized an outreach event with the Marley Park Elementary Second Grade Class.   Around 80 students used 3 telescopes setup to observe the Sun.   WVAC members who participated in the event were John Hiatt,  Bob Colvert, Luke Edens, Larry Matney  and Bob and Janie Randle.  Second Grade Teacher Jessica Carleton was the main contact at the school.  Jessica wrote the following:

Good morning,

Thank you for an amazing morning! Our students had a great time and learned a lot of new and exciting things.  They were still talking about it when I came back to class.  They are looking forward to the night event to look at the stars. We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to provide this opportunity. I look forward to continuing this event in the future. Have a great day.

As indicated above WVAC will be hosting the annual “Observe the Moon Night” in Marley Park on October 16th 2021.

We want to thank everyone in attendance for a great event, the 2nd graders had fun and so did we.
