The Local Group of Deep Sky Observers was formed in the summer of 1983, an experiment conceived by Vic Menard and Dennis Plews at the eyepiece of an old 13.1-inch Coulter Odyssey Dobsonian telescope. An astronomy club without officers, without by-laws, with no agenda other than to enjoy the deep sky, the Group continues to provide a venue for amateur astronomers to commit astronomy!
