Hi all,
A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Dan Ackerman from MPR re: beginner astronomy. They're doing a series of articles and features on "getting outside during the summer", and learning about astronomy is one of the topics.
The article was just posted on their website today: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2019/07/0 ... -minnesota
During my discussion, I tried to plug everybody -- including the MAS Loaner Scope Program, the B-SIG and the ELO Public Nights.
I hope that it gets our club some good visibility!
