Luca has since completed the Astronomical League's Double Star list, Multiple Star list, the Herschel 400 list and is currently slogging, er... working through the Herschel II list. In 2016, Luca published the Carbon Start Hunter List. Luca joined the RASC Edmonton Centre in the mid-1970's and was a member for a few years. University and work life caused a long hiatus from the RASC (but not the hobby), until the year 2000 when he rejoined the Society. Since then, Luca has served the Edmonton Centre in various capacities, including schlepper, volunteer, General Assembly organizer, outreach event coordinator, secretary, national council rep, webmaster, vice-president and president. Luca is currently on the team building the Black Nugget Lake Observatory - Edmonton Centre's dark sky facility that will feature a 32" telescope.

Time Town This week, I'm talking about Time Town, a small regional park near Lake George, NY. The park was open between 1970 and 1981, and had a space theme, with geodesic domes, costumed characters, the ubiquitous park train, an astronaut statue dedicated by Werner Von Braun, and a high-powered Celestron 22 telescope.
