Dear Astronomy Enthusiasts,
Apple Ridge Farm has created an astronomy club providing access
for the public to the GE Dark Sky Observatory. The club is
currently being facilitated by Michael Good GE Volunteer Project
Lead (please see note below for his vita)
Mr. Good designed the observatory to have dual telescope piers. The
first holds a Meade 8" Schmidt Cassegrain (f/10). This is an LX50
– it has sidereal tracking and slow speed controls but no "go
to"
capability. The second scope is a Meade 12" LX200, replete with GOTO
functionality and RS232 port for remote telescope operation.
Theobservatory was built entirely by Ge volunteers.
Here is a link to the Apple Ridge site/ observatory
information
http://appleridge.org/news/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=85
We will meet monthly every 2nd Monday of the month (freeing the 3rd
Monday for people wishing to attend the Roanoke Valley Astronomical
Society (RVAS) meetings in Roanoke). Like the RVAS, we will meet from
7:30pm till approximately 9pm monthly.
Every meeting will begin in the Meador building . A decision will
be
made early if the weather and road conditions will allow driving up
thegravel road to the observatory (limited parking). If so, the
primarypurpose for the club will be to observe at the GE Dark Sky
Observatory.If the weather does not permit, a program will be presented
to thepublic.
Link to directions to the camp on the Apple Ridge site:

LINKMUSEUM APOPULAR TRAVELDESTINATION
The
O. Winston Link Museum in Downtown Roanoke offers railroad fans, art
and history enthusiasts, and community residents a new destination in
Western Virginia. Since the museum's grand opening in
January,
more than 15,000 people - sixty percent from beyond the RoanokeValley,
from most every state in theU.S.and many foreign countries -
have admired the exhibition of Link's world-famous work.
O.
Winston Link's photos of the last days
of steam locomotion along the Norfolk and Western Railway take
anostalgic look back to 1950s life - to the world of drive-in
theatersand old country stores along the rail lines. Set in the
ruralAppalachian Mountains and locomotive shops, Link captured a
simplerera that many in the United States look back to with fond
memories.
The
museum, housed in the
renovated Norfolk and Western Railway passenger station, exhibits more
than 225 prints from Link's acclaimed Norfolk and Western project,
Link's photographic equipment, and artifacts from N&W's freightand
passenger services. Several interactive stations present thechance to
examine Link's elaborate lighting arrangements or hear his
steam locomotive sound recordings.
"Some of our visitors worked
for N&W for more than 30 years - they really enjoy seeing their
memories of the railroad displayed for the public" said Kim Pulice,
Manager of Museum Operations. Many visitors leave
noticeablystirred by the photographs - reminded of working with the
long-gone
steam trains and fellow railroad employees.
Most
images are black andwhite, and most are taken at night. Using
hundreds of
flashbulbs, Link dramatically lit his subjects to highlight the
lifearound the railroad. Pulice noted, "Link had a knack
foraddinga human element to photos of machines. His most
strikingimagesare those that show how rail interacted with
communities andindividuals." Small communities that rarely got
attention
from
the outside world at that time - Rural Retreat, Vesuvius,
Iager,Green Cove - were documented by Link's cameras.
One
of the most popularfeatures in the museum is the 30-minute documentary
film "What a
Picture I Got," containing interview footage and backgroundinformation
about Link. The film also dramatically documents
the
troubles with Link's ex-wife, Conchita, and her plans to steal
Link'sprints and other equipment.
Additionally,
the museum giftshop has expanded since the grand opening to include a
diverseinventory. Children's items - including toys and books -
arenow
available, and the shop has an extensive line of Norfolk and Westernand
O. Winston Link memorabilia.
"We're
always adding somethinginteresting. The 2005 Link calendar just
arrived, and we will
beselling postcards of Link's photos next month," said Julie
Griffith,Gift Shop Manager. Griffith observed,
"Visitorsreallyenjoy those items that exhibit Link's art."
As an added convenience,visitors can now buy joint tickets for the
Virginia Museum ofTransportation at a 20 percent savings. The two
museums are
connected by a three-block O. Winston Link Railwalk.
TheO.Winston
Link Museum is located at 101 Shenandoah Avenue in Roanoke,across from
Hotel Roanoke. The museum is open year-round,Mondaythrough
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5p.m.
Admission: Adults $5, Seniors $4, Children $3. Grouprates are
available, and the museum is available for after hours
functions. More information is available on the web at
www.linkmuseum.org or by phone at 540-982-5465.
