On August 27th, 2007, 3 members of the SWAOG had a chance to share some of their astronomy knowledge with members of the DuPage Amateur Radio Club (DARC).  
 
There were approximately 50 DARC Members at the meeting.  The SWAOG members that helped out with this event were: 
 
 
John - KN9R (Presentation on SWAOG and what you can see in the night sky )
Dave - KC9KPQ (Good books on astronomy for beginners & telescope viewing after the meeting)
Jeff - WD9GVU (How to read the monthly Sky Map Reading, several easy objects to find with your binoculars, & telescope viewing after the meeting)
 
We all had a great time doing this event, and the DARC members were very appreciative!!
