Sounds good Paul, this is a good start. I have to be in Seattle that
weekend. I'll be at the next one!

The next meeting of the Spokane Astronomical Society will be held August
5th, 2022. Our club's own Terry H, Mark G, Mike R, and (or) Matt S. will
give a presentation on astrophotography. We will also play the recent KSPS
interview with Terry and hold a question and answer period.
I want to thank everyone for the many suggestions. We explored a number
of different options, and settled on this one for now. It is not far out
of the city, but sports reasonably dark sky and an area where we can set up
telescopes. This was always a bit awkward in the well lit parking lot of
the Spokane Falls Community College, and other locations we've used over
the years.
On the other hand, if the planetarium becomes available to us again--even
though the quarters are a bit cramped we would likely return there. There
is almost never any cloud cover or inclement weather to block our view of
the ceiling screen.
I will provide directions to the site in a later message. It is a private
residence with a spacious out building behind. There are two main rooms in
the out building, the smaller of which is used for playing basketball (not
a full court). The larger room will comfortably accommodate 60.
