Lincoln Hills Astronomy Group
August 2017

This month we had a planetarium show at Sierra college
presented by Prof. David Dunn.
The big event, however, was the Partial Polar Eclipse on August 21st.
We had seven telescopes set up behind the OC Lodge and somewhere around 500
people came
out for this very special occasion.

Thanks to Carla LaFave for the photos
