RASC Calendars and Handbooks

The popular RASC Observer’s Handbook and astronomy calendars have arrived! They’ll be available at our general meetings until they’re gone. This year we also ordered a supply of the Beginner’s Observing Guides.

The Observer’s Handbook is $18, the Calendar is $10, and the Beginner’s Guide is $15. As before, the SJAA orders them in bulk, so this is a significant discount, (retail is $25.95 for the Handbook, $14.95 for the calendar, and $19.95 for the Beginner’s Guide). The club only makes about a dollar each on these, which goes toward our loaner scope program.

If you’d like one but can’t make it to a meeting, contact me to make other arrangements: Gary's e-mail.
