STARGAZER II
Astronomy Mobile Outreach Vehicle (AMOV)
In December 2008, Michael Overacker, builder and owner of StarGazer II, the Astronomy Mobile Outreach Vehicle, was awarded the Clifford W. Holmes Grant by the Riverside Telescope Makers Conference. This grant is awarded to persons who are working, through outreach, to promote astronomy to the general public. It is good to get this support from such a worthy organization.
The StarGazer II is often used to support the Star City Astronomy Network (SCAN). SCAN is a group of astronomers dedicated to teaching astronomy and the importance of dark skies to the public and organized groups. Click on the SCAN logo to visit the SCAN Website.
