Just a few shots of everyone getting ready for the Star Party! It was a great night for star gazing with Jupiter and Saturn joining the Moon in dazzling the attendees.

Monthly Meeting July 8th
I hope to see everyone at the meeting. We will be talking about the Star Party on July 12th. Plans are coming together nicely and it should be a great night!
Dues Time Again
We hope you have had a great year enjoying the night sky’s of Southern Illinois. Over the last year, we have had numerous technical presentations at our old haunt, Paglai’s Pizza in Carbondale, as well as numerous Public Viewings (such as Blue Sky, Alto Pass, Jacob with Adler, Murphysboro STEM Project, Giant City, Carterville Library and more). We hope you have had as much fun as Harry and Jan, Lane and Cindy, and Raune and Debra and your Board have had this year. There are so many wonderful members of this association, with some very SMART people in the crowd.
We are officially a 501 c (3) organization now. We are a nonprofit educational organization focused on astronomy. We are a part of the Astronomical League and part of your dues provides you the Reflector Magazine.
It’s that time of year when our dues are requested. Our dues have remained steady for many years. We ask for $25 for single membership and $35 for family membership.
Please bring your dues to the next meeting, or if you cannot be there, please send to our PO Box.
