Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit / SBMNH

draft

The Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History hosts a once a month "astronomy party".  They have a fabulous 20 inch telescope in the dome and a variety of other devices of about 9.5 inches and more outside and helpful people by each one.

The event was well attended, perhaps 50 or more people of all ages.

There was certainly some light pollution and coastal haze, as we would expect, but it was still very entertaining and value added.

I also determined that the Planetarium has an Evans & Sutherland Digistar 5.
