The RCA New-Member Orientation is open to all members. We will give a quick overview of all the benefits that come from being a Rose City Astronomer, and general joys of being an amateur astronomer. We all began as a newbie once; We will share some of our memories of getting into this fine hobby and into the RCA in particular.

Next Meeting on March 15^th, 2010 at 6:30pm in the OMSI Planetarium.

The topic will be "Popular RCA Observing Sites". We'll be presenting information on the sites commonly used by RCA members either individually or in groups. It'll cover location, amenities, advantages and disadvantages of each. Now is the beginning of the observing season, and this will be a blatant attempt to encourage anyone who hasn't done so to get out and use these sites!

There will be plenty of time for Q & A, so if you've got questions, bring them to the next new members' meeting.
