I just join CTAS yesterday and have tried to find a good forum to introduce myself a little and this one said "Newcomers", so thought I would start here. I tried to post in the Astrophotography forum but no luck. Anyways, I'm Jason, from Waxahachie. I have been a member of TAS for 2 years but the dark site is 2.5 hours away from me in Atoka, OK, so I just now found out about CTAS and the PJMO is only 1.5 hours from me. I primary do Astrophotography and have been for 2.5 years. You can check out my images in the link in my signature.
I was hoping by now to have been reached out by a member via email with more info on the club and especially the dark site. I was planning on hopefully going down to the site later this week. I am assuming I might need a code to get into the site so could someone please share that with me as well. Based off what I'm dug up online, it seems the dark site houses a 24 inch scope and has a field for setting up your personal scope. I also have heard there is electricity and restrooms onsite. Any other details would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jason
