The October meeting of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the Community United Methodist Church, 434 Lewis St. 

Join us for socializing at 6 p.m. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. Please enter the church through the side door next to the parking lot. 

This month’s presentation will feature Dave Duquemin speaking on astrophotography. 

In his presentation, Duquemin will explain how he photographs deep space objects, including distant galaxies like M-31 Andromeda. Duquemin is a retired commercial airline pilot. He is a member of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club, and also enjoys building and flying airplanes. 

The presentation will be followed by our monthly image share, for which Photography Club members may bring up to five images each to share and discuss. 

This meeting will also be available on Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to members; others who wish to attend may request the link by email to abutler@mac.com.
