He told me of his son's growing interest in astronomy and that they had just purchased a small telescope for him. Would anyone out there have contact information for an astro club that is near Hickory, NC? I would like to forward the info to my friend. My local club was a huge help when I got started last year. Thanks and Happy 2007! -------------------- Rob 12' LX200GPS Scopebuggy Denk II w/Powerswitch Post Extras:       ~Steph~ Texas Wildflower Reged: 06/11/05 Posts: 26279 Loc: North Texas Re: Astro Club near Hickory, NC?

No idea where Hickory is, but here are some links you can forward him that might help: List of NC clubs from Astronomical League List of NC clubs from Astronomy Clubs List of NC clubs from Sky & Telescope There is probably some overlap between the lists of course, and no telling how accurate they are, but hopefully it will be of some help. -------------------- Steph Taking it one day at a time...
